More quotes by Walter Raleigh
Fain would I climb, yet fear I to fall.
Walter Raleigh
If thy friends be of better quality than thyself, thou mayest be sure of two things first, they will be more careful to keep thy counsel, because they have more to lose than thou hast the second, they will esteem thee for thyself, and not for that which thou dost possess.
Walter Raleigh
But in vain she did conjure him, To depart her presence so, Having a thousand tongues t' allure him And but one to bid him go. When lips invite, And eyes delight, And cheeks as fresh as rose in June, Persuade delay,-- What boots to say Forego me now, come to me soon.
Walter Raleigh
Passions are liken'd best to floods and streams: The shallow murmur, but the deep are dumb So, when affection yields discourse, it seems The bottom is but shallow whence they come. They that are rich in words, in words discover
Walter Raleigh
In a letter to a friend the thought is often unimportant, and the feeling, if it be only a desire to entertain him, every thing.
Walter Raleigh
And when I'm introduced to one I wish I thought What Jolly Fun!
Walter Raleigh
The useful type of successful teacher is one whose main interest is the children, not the subject.
Walter Raleigh

Walter Raleigh
Let valour end my life!
Walter Raleigh
'Tis a sharp medicine, but it will cure all that ails you.
Walter Raleigh
I can't write a book commensurate with Shakespeare, but I can write a book by me.
Walter Raleigh
A man must first govern himself ere he is fit to govern a family and his family ere he be fit to bear the government of the commonwealth.
Walter Raleigh
Even such isTime, which takes in trust Our youth, our joys, and all we have, And pays us but with age and dust, Who in the dark and silent grave When we have wandered all our ways Shuts up the story of our days, And from which earth, and grave, and dust The Lord shall raise me up, I trust.
Walter Raleigh
A wandering minstrel I A thing of shreds and patches Of ballads, songs and snatches And dreamy lullaby!
Walter Raleigh
All histories do show, and wise politicians do hold it necessary that, for the well-governing of every Commonweal, it behoveth man to presuppose that all men are evil, and will declare themselves so to be when occasion is offered.
Walter Raleigh
I shall never be persuaded that God hath shut up all light of learning within the lantern of Aristotle's brain.
Walter Raleigh
What is our life? A play of passion. Our mirth the music of division. Our mother's wombs the tyring houses be, Where we are drest for this short Comedy.
Walter Raleigh
Hatreds are the cinders of affection.
Walter Raleigh
Whoso desireth to govern well and securely, it behoveth him to have a vigilant eye to the proceedings of great princes, and to consider seriously of their designs.
Walter Raleigh
But true love is a durable fire, In the mind ever burning, Never sick, never old, never dead, From itself never turning.
Walter Raleigh
