More quotes by Walter Raleigh
No one can take less pains than to hold his tongue. Hear much, and speak little for the tongue is the instrument of the greatest good and greatest evil that is done in the world.
Walter Raleigh
Fain would I, but I dare not I dare, and yet I may not I may, although I care not, for pleasure when I play not.
Walter Raleigh
Better it were not to live than to live a coward.
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
I shall never be persuaded that God hath shut up all light of learning within the lantern of Aristotle's brain.
Walter Raleigh
... but the longest day hath its evening.
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
Corrupt seeds bring forth corrupt plants.

Walter Raleigh
Passions are likened best to floods and streams: The shallow murmur, but the deep are dumb.
Walter Raleigh
A wandering minstrel I A thing of shreds and patches Of ballads, songs and snatches And dreamy lullaby!
Walter Raleigh
There is no error which hath not some appearance of probability resembling truth, which, when men who study to be singular find out, straining reason, they then publish to the world matter of contention and jangling.
Walter Raleigh
The House of Peers, throughout the war, Did nothing in particular, And did it very well: Yet Britain set the world ablaze In good King George's glorious days!
Walter Raleigh
It is not truth, but opinion that can travel the world without a passport.
Walter Raleigh
Who so taketh in hand to frame any state or government ought to presuppose that all men are evil, and at occasions will show themselves so to be.
Walter Raleigh
The longer it possesseth a man the more he will delight in it, and the older he groweth the more he shall be subject to it for it dulleth the spirits, and destroyeth the body as ivy doth the old tree, or as the worm that engendereth in the kernal of the nut.
Walter Raleigh
Use your youth so that you may have comfort to remember it when it has forsaken you, and not sigh and grieve at the account thereof.
Walter Raleigh
[It is a basic principle of a tyrant] to unarm his people of weapons, money and all means whereby they resist his power.
Walter Raleigh
Above all things, be not made an ass to carry the burdens of other men if any friend desire thee to be his surety, give him a part of what thou has to spare if he presses thee further, he is not thy friend at all.
Walter Raleigh
There never was a man of solid understanding, whose apprehensions are sober, and by a pensive inspection advised, but that he hath found by an irresistible necessity one true God and everlasting being.
Walter Raleigh
