No mortal thing can bear so high a price, But that with mortal thing it may be bought.
Walter Raleigh
Bad language or abuse, I never, never use, Whatever the emergency Though 'Bother it' I may Occasionally say, I never use a big, big D : What, never? : No, never! : What never? : Well, hardly ever! : Hardly ever swears a big, big D Then give three cheers, and one cheer more, For the well-bred Captain of the Pinafore!
Walter Raleigh
Youth is the opportunity to do something and to be somebody.
Walter Raleigh

Walter Raleigh
But in vain she did conjure him, To depart her presence so, Having a thousand tongues t' allure him And but one to bid him go. When lips invite, And eyes delight, And cheeks as fresh as rose in June, Persuade delay,-- What boots to say Forego me now, come to me soon.
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
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
If she undervalues me, What care I how fair she be?
Walter Raleigh
The necessity of war, which among human actions is the most lawless, hath some kind of affinity with the necessity of law.
Walter Raleigh
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
When a felon's not engaged in his employment Or maturing his felonious little plans His capacity for innocent enjoyment Is just as great as any honest man's Ah! When constabulary duty's to be done A policeman's lot is not a happy one.
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.
