Walter Raleigh
Better it were not to live than to live a coward.
Walter Raleigh
The world is itself but a larger prison, out of which some are daily selected for execution.
Walter Raleigh
Corrupt seeds bring forth corrupt plants.
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 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
God is absolutely good and so, assuredly, the cause of all that is good.
Walter Raleigh
Youth is the opportunity to do something and to be somebody.
Walter Raleigh
