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
Image
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

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

What is our life? A play of passion. Our mirth the music of division. Our mother's wombs the tyring houses be, Where we are drest for this short Comedy.

A man must first govern himself ere he is fit to govern a family and his family ere he be fit to bear the government of the commonwealth.
Walter Raleigh
Image
There is nothing more becoming any wise man, than to make choice of friends, for by them thou shalt be judged what thou art: let them therefore be wise and virtuous, and none of those that follow thee for gain but make election rather of thy betters, than thy inferiors.

Walter Raleigh
Image
But true love is a durable fire, In the mind ever burning, Never sick, never old, never dead, From itself never turning.
Walter Raleigh
Image
But from this earth, this grave, this dust, My God shall raise me up, I trust.
Walter Raleigh

Better were it to be unborn than to be ill bred.
Walter Raleigh
Image
Whoso taketh in hand to govern a multitude, either by way of liberty or principality, and cannot assure himself of those persons that are enemies to that enterprise, doth frame a state of short perseverance.
Walter Raleigh
Image
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
Image
All histories do show, and wise politicians do hold it necessary that, for the well-governing of every Commonweal, it behoveth man to presuppose that all men are evil, and will declare themselves so to be when occasion is offered.
Walter Raleigh
Image
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
Image
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
Image
Fain would I, but I dare not I dare, and yet I may not I may, although I care not, for pleasure when I play not.
Walter Raleigh
Image
The most divine light only shineth on those minds which are purged from all worldly dross and human uncleanliness.
