More quotes by 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
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
Talking much is a sign of vanity, for the one who is lavish with words is cheap in deeds.
Walter Raleigh
'Tis a sharp medicine, but it will cure all that ails you.
Walter Raleigh
But in vain she did conjure him, To depart her presence so, Having a thousand tongues t' allure him And but one to bid him go. When lips invite, And eyes delight, And cheeks as fresh as rose in June, Persuade delay,-- What boots to say Forego me now, come to me soon.
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.
Walter Raleigh
Never spend anything before thou have it for borrowing is the canker and death of every man's estate.
Walter Raleigh
Trust few men above all, keep your follies to yourself.
Walter Raleigh
... but the longest day hath its evening.
Walter Raleigh
Our immortal souls, while righteous, are by God himself beautified with the title of his own image and similitude.
Walter Raleigh
What dependence can I have on the alleged events of ancient history, when I find such difficulty in ascertaining the truth regarding a matter that has taken place only a few minutes ago, and almost in my own presence!
Walter Raleigh
There is no error which hath not some appearance of probability resembling truth, which, when men who study to be singular find out, straining reason, they then publish to the world matter of contention and jangling.
Walter Raleigh
To live thy better, let thy worst thoughts die.
Walter Raleigh
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
An anthology is like all the plums and orange peel picked out of a cake.
Walter Raleigh
Desire attained is not desire, But as the cinders of the fire.
Walter Raleigh
The useful type of successful teacher is one whose main interest is the children, not the subject.
Walter Raleigh
No man is esteemed for colorful garments except by fools and women.
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
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
