Walter Raleigh
Hath triumphed over time, which besides it nothing but eternity hath triumphed over.
Walter Raleigh

Walter Raleigh

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.

Walter Raleigh
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
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
Whosoever in writing a modern history shall follow the truth too near the heels it may haply strike out his teeth.
Walter Raleigh
Even such isTime, which takes in trust Our youth, our joys, and all we have, And pays us but with age and dust, Who in the dark and silent grave When we have wandered all our ways Shuts up the story of our days, And from which earth, and grave, and dust The Lord shall raise me up, I trust.
Walter Raleigh
