More quotes by Walter Raleigh
Whoever commands the sea, commands the trade whosoever commands the trade of the world commands the riches of the world, and consequently the world itself.
Walter Raleigh
In a word, we may gather out of History a policy no less wise than I eternal by the comparison and application of other mens fore-passed miseries with our own like errours and ill-deservings.
Walter Raleigh
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
The first draught serveth for health, the second for pleasure, the third for shame, the fourth for madness.
Walter Raleigh
The bodies of men, munition, and money may justly be called the sinews of war.
Walter Raleigh
Our shipping and sea service is our best and safest defence as being the only fortification and rampart of England.
Walter Raleigh
What dependence can I have on the alleged events of ancient history, when I find such difficulty in ascertaining the truth regarding a matter that has taken place only a few minutes ago, and almost in my own presence!
Walter Raleigh
Our bodies are but the anvils of pain and disease and our minds the hives of unnumbered cares.
Walter Raleigh
It is observed in the course of worldly things, that men's fortunes are oftener made by their tongues than by their virtues and more men's fortunes overthrown thereby than by vices.
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
Romance is a love affair in other than domestic surroundings.
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
A wandering minstrel I A thing of shreds and patches Of ballads, songs and snatches And dreamy lullaby!
Walter Raleigh
God is absolutely good and so, assuredly, the cause of all that is good.
Walter Raleigh
But from this earth, this grave, this dust, My God shall raise me up, I trust.
Walter Raleigh
There is nothing exempt from the peril of mutation the earth, heavens, and whole world is thereunto subject.
Walter Raleigh
It is plain there is not in nature a point of stability to be found everything either ascends or declines when wars are ended abroad, sedition begins at home and when men are freed from fighting for necessity, they quarrel through ambition.
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
Historians desiring to write the actions of men, ought to set down the simple truth, and not say anything for love or hatred also to choose such an opportunity for writing as it may be lawful to think what they will, and write what they think, which is a rare happiness of the time.
Walter Raleigh
No one is wise or safe, but they that are honest.
