More quotes by 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
The difference between a rich man and a poor man is this--the former eats when he pleases, and the latter when he can get it.
Walter Raleigh
An anthology is like all the plums and orange peel picked out of a cake.
Walter Raleigh
Above all things, be not made an ass to carry the burdens of other men if any friend desire thee to be his surety, give him a part of what thou has to spare if he presses thee further, he is not thy friend at all.
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
War begets quiet, quiet idleness, idleness disorder, disorder ruin likewise ruin order, order virtue, virtue glory, and good fortune.
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
Prevention is the daughter of intelligence.
Walter Raleigh
Fain would I, but I dare not I dare, and yet I may not I may, although I care not, for pleasure when I play not.
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
Never spend anything before thou have it for borrowing is the canker and death of every man's estate.
Walter Raleigh
And when I'm introduced to one I wish I thought What Jolly Fun!
Walter Raleigh
Our bodies are but the anvils of pain and disease and our minds the hives of unnumbered cares.
Walter Raleigh
Whosoever in writing a modern history shall follow the truth too near the heels it may haply strike out his teeth.
Walter Raleigh
Except thou desire to hasten thine end, take this for a general rule, that thou never add any artificial heat to thy body by wine or spice.
Walter Raleigh
Let valour end my life!
Walter Raleigh
Be advised what thou dost discourse of, and what thou maintainest whether touching religion, state, or vanity for if thou err in the first, thou shalt be accounted profane if in the second, dangerous if in the third, indiscreet and foolish.
Walter Raleigh
The first draught serveth for health, the second for pleasure, the third for shame, the fourth for madness.
Walter Raleigh
If all the world and love were young, And truth in every shepherd's tongue, These pretty pleasures might me move To live with thee, and be thy love.
Walter Raleigh
So the heart be right, it is no matter which way the head lieth.
Walter Raleigh
