More quotes by Walter Raleigh
Trust few men above all, keep your follies to yourself.
Walter Raleigh
... but the longest day hath its evening.
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
Corrupt seeds bring forth corrupt plants.
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
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
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
No man is esteemed for colorful garments except by fools and women.
Walter Raleigh
Our bodies are but the anvils of pain and disease and our minds the hives of unnumbered cares.
Walter Raleigh
A wandering minstrel I A thing of shreds and patches Of ballads, songs and snatches And dreamy lullaby!
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
The most divine light only shineth on those minds which are purged from all worldly dross and human uncleanliness.
Walter Raleigh
Romance is a love affair in other than domestic surroundings.
Walter Raleigh
Who so desireth to know what will be hereafter, let him think of what is past, for the world hath ever been in a circular revolution whatsoever is now, was heretofore and things past or present, are no other than such as shall be again: Redit orbis in orbem.
Walter Raleigh
There is nothing exempt from the peril of mutation the earth, heavens, and whole world is thereunto subject.
Walter Raleigh
The first draught serveth for health, the second for pleasure, the third for shame, the fourth for madness.
Walter Raleigh
Death, which hateth and destroyeth a man, is believed God, which hath made him and loves him, is always deferred.
Walter Raleigh
'Tis a sharp medicine, but it will cure all that ails you.
Walter Raleigh
The longer it possesseth a man the more he will delight in it, and the older he groweth the more he shall be subject to it for it dulleth the spirits, and destroyeth the body as ivy doth the old tree, or as the worm that engendereth in the kernal of the nut.
