More quotes by Walter Raleigh
There is nothing exempt from the peril of mutation the earth, heavens, and whole world is thereunto subject.
Walter Raleigh
Who so desireth to know what will be hereafter, let him think of what is past, for the world hath ever been in a circular revolution whatsoever is now, was heretofore and things past or present, are no other than such as shall be again: Redit orbis in orbem.
Walter Raleigh
Because all men are apt to flatter themselves, to entertain the addition of other men's praises is most perilous.
Walter Raleigh
... but the longest day hath its evening.
Walter Raleigh
All, or the greatest part of men that have aspired to riches or power, have attained thereunto either by force or fraud, and what they have by craft or cruelty gained, to cover the foulness of their fact, they call purchase, as a name more honest. Howsoever, he that for want of will or wit useth not those means, must rest in servitude and poverty.
Walter Raleigh
And when I'm introduced to one I wish I thought What Jolly Fun!
Walter Raleigh

Walter Raleigh
Trust few men above all, keep your follies to yourself.
Walter Raleigh

Walter Raleigh
Talking much is a sign of vanity, for the one who is lavish with words is cheap in deeds.
Walter Raleigh
Our souls, piercing through the impurity of flesh, behold the highest heaven, and thence bring knowledge to contemplate the ever-during, glory and termless joy.
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
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
A professional man of letters, especially if he is much at war with unscrupulous enemies, is naturally jealous of his privacy he will be silent on his more personal interests, or, if he must speak, will veil them under conventional forms.
Walter Raleigh
No mortal thing can bear so high a price, But that with mortal thing it may be bought.
Walter Raleigh
No man is esteemed for colorful garments except by fools and women.
Walter Raleigh
But it is hard to know them from friends, they are so obsequious and full of protestations for a wolf resembles a dog, so doth a flatterer a friend.
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
Silence in love betrays more woe - Than words though ne'er so witty A beggar that is dumb, you know, may challenge double pity.
Walter Raleigh
To live thy better, let thy worst thoughts die.
Walter Raleigh
