Walter Raleigh
Image
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
Image
No mortal thing can bear so high a price, But that with mortal thing it may be bought.
Walter Raleigh
Image
'Tis a sharp medicine, but it will cure all that ails you.
Walter Raleigh
Image
Fain would I climb, yet fear I to fall.
Walter Raleigh
Image
There is nothing exempt from the peril of mutation the earth, heavens, and whole world is thereunto subject.
Walter Raleigh
Image
Take special care that thou never trust any friend or servant with any matter that may endanger thine estate for so shalt thou make thyself a bond-slave to him that thou trustest, and leave thyself always to his mercy.
Walter Raleigh
Image
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
Image
