Corrupt seeds bring forth corrupt plants.
Walter Raleigh
Youth is the opportunity to do something and to be somebody.
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
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
The world is itself but a larger prison, out of which some are daily selected for execution.
Walter Raleigh
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
God is absolutely good and so, assuredly, the cause of all that is good.
Walter Raleigh

Walter Raleigh
Talking much is a sign of vanity, for the one who is lavish with words is cheap in deeds.
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
Our shipping and sea service is our best and safest defence as being the only fortification and rampart of England.
Walter Raleigh
But it is hard to know them from friends, they are so obsequious and full of protestations for a wolf resembles a dog, so doth a flatterer a friend.
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
So the heart be right, it is no matter which way the head lieth.
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
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
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
If thy friends be of better quality than thyself, thou mayest be sure of two things first, they will be more careful to keep thy counsel, because they have more to lose than thou hast the second, they will esteem thee for thyself, and not for that which thou dost possess.
Walter Raleigh
Better were it to be unborn than to be ill bred.
Walter Raleigh
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!
