More quotes by Walter Raleigh
It is not truth, but opinion that can travel the world without a passport.
Walter Raleigh
It is the nature of men having escaped one extreme, which by force they were constrained long to endure, to run headlong into the other extreme, forgetting that virtue doth always consist in the mean.
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
Use your youth so that you may have comfort to remember it when it has forsaken you, and not sigh and grieve at the account thereof.
Walter Raleigh
Whoso desireth to govern well and securely, it behoveth him to have a vigilant eye to the proceedings of great princes, and to consider seriously of their designs.
Walter Raleigh
Men endure the losses that befall them by mere casualty with more patience than the damages they sustain by injustice.
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
No one can take less pains than to hold his tongue. Hear much, and speak little for the tongue is the instrument of the greatest good and greatest evil that is done in the world.
Walter Raleigh
But from this earth, this grave, this dust, My God shall raise me up, I trust.
Walter Raleigh
But it is hard to know them from friends, they are so obsequious and full of protestations for a wolf resembles a dog, so doth a flatterer a friend.
Walter Raleigh
Our souls, piercing through the impurity of flesh, behold the highest heaven, and thence bring knowledge to contemplate the ever-during, glory and termless joy.
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
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
Better it were not to live than to live a coward.
Walter Raleigh
It would be an unspeakable advantage, both to the public and private, if men would consider that great truth, that no man is wise or safe but he that is honest.
Walter Raleigh
A wandering minstrel I A thing of shreds and patches Of ballads, songs and snatches And dreamy lullaby!
Walter Raleigh
[It is a basic principle of a tyrant] to unarm his people of weapons, money and all means whereby they resist his power.
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
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.
