More quotes by Walter Raleigh
Even such is time, that takes in trust Our youth, our joys, our all we have, And pays us but with age and dust.
Walter Raleigh
Even such isTime, which takes in trust Our youth, our joys, and all we have, And pays us but with age and dust, Who in the dark and silent grave When we have wandered all our ways Shuts up the story of our days, And from which earth, and grave, and dust The Lord shall raise me up, I trust.
Walter Raleigh
It were better for a man to be subject to any vice than to drunkenness for all other vanities and sins are recovered, but a drunkard will never shake off the delight of beastliness.
Walter Raleigh
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
If thou marry beauty, thou bindest thyself all thy life for that which, perchance, will neither last nor please thee one year.
Walter Raleigh
But true love is a durable fire, In the mind ever burning, Never sick, never old, never dead, From itself never turning.
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
No man is esteemed for colorful garments except by fools and women.
Walter Raleigh
The gain of lying is nothing else but not to be trusted of any, nor to be believed when we say the truth.
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
War begets quiet, quiet idleness, idleness disorder, disorder ruin likewise ruin order, order virtue, virtue glory, and good fortune.
Walter Raleigh
Hatreds are the cinders of affection.
Walter Raleigh
A professional man of letters, especially if he is much at war with unscrupulous enemies, is naturally jealous of his privacy he will be silent on his more personal interests, or, if he must speak, will veil them under conventional forms.
Walter Raleigh
Expressive glances Shall be our lances And pops of Sillery Our light artillery.
Walter Raleigh
Covetous ambition, thinking all too little which presently it hath, supposeth itself to stand in need of that which it hath not.
Walter Raleigh
Remember, that if thou marry for beauty, thou bindest thyself all thy life for that which, perchance, will never last nor please thee one year and when thou hast it, it will be to thee of no price at all.
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
An anthology is like all the plums and orange peel picked out of a cake.
Walter Raleigh
Hath triumphed over time, which besides it nothing but eternity hath triumphed over.
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
