More quotes by Walter Raleigh

Image
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
Image

Historians desiring to write the actions of men, ought to set down the simple truth, and not say anything for love or hatred also to choose such an opportunity for writing as it may be lawful to think what they will, and write what they think, which is a rare happiness of the time.
Walter Raleigh
Image
Hatreds are the cinders of affection.
Walter Raleigh
Image
Love likes not the falling fruit, Nor the withered tree.
Walter Raleigh
Image
This is a sharp medicine, but it is a physician for all diseases and miseries.
Walter Raleigh
Image
'Tis a sharp medicine, but it will cure all that ails you.
Walter Raleigh
Image
Who so taketh in hand to frame any state or government ought to presuppose that all men are evil, and at occasions will show themselves so to be.
Walter Raleigh
Image
It is observed in the course of worldly things, that men's fortunes are oftener made by their tongues than by their virtues and more men's fortunes overthrown thereby than by vices.
Walter Raleigh
Image
... but the longest day hath its evening.
Walter Raleigh
Image
There is nothing exempt from the peril of mutation the earth, heavens, and whole world is thereunto subject.
Walter Raleigh
Image
In a letter to a friend the thought is often unimportant, and the feeling, if it be only a desire to entertain him, every thing.
