Image
Passions are likened best to floods and streams: The shallow murmur, but the deep are dumb.
Walter Raleigh
Image
Less pains in the world a man cannot take than to bold his tongue.
Walter Raleigh
Image
If any friend desire thee to be his surety, give him a part of what thou hast to spare if he press thee further, he is not thy friend at all, for friendship rather chooseth harm to itself than offereth it. If thou be bound for a stranger, thou art a fool if for a merchant, thou puttest thy estate to learn to swim.
Walter Raleigh
Image
There is nothing exempt from the peril of mutation the earth, heavens, and whole world is thereunto subject.
Walter Raleigh
Image
Flatterers are the worst kind of traitors, for they will strengthen thy imperfections, encourage thee in all evils, correct thee in nothing, but so shadow and paint thy follies and vices as thou shalt never, by their will, discover good from evil, or vice from virtue.
Walter Raleigh
Image

Walter Raleigh
Image
Fain would I climb, yet fear I to fall.
Walter Raleigh
Image
The bodies of men, munition, and money may justly be called the sinews of war.
Walter Raleigh
Image
Romance is a love affair in other than domestic surroundings.
Walter Raleigh
Image
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
Image
I shall never be persuaded that God hath shut up all light of learning within the lantern of Aristotle's brain.
Walter Raleigh
Image
Covetous ambition, thinking all too little which presently it hath, supposeth itself to stand in need of that which it hath not.
Walter Raleigh
Image
I wish I loved the Human Race I wish I loved its silly face I wish I liked the way it walks I wish I liked the way it talks And when I'm introduced to one I wish I thought What Jolly Fun!
Walter Raleigh
Image
I can't write a book commensurate with Shakespeare, but I can write a book by me.
Walter Raleigh
Image
All men are evil and will declare themselves to be so when occasion is offered.
Walter Raleigh
Image
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
Image
Desire attained is not desire, But as the cinders of the fire.
