Image
Our souls, piercing through the impurity of flesh, behold the highest heaven, and thence bring knowledge to contemplate the ever-during, glory and termless joy.
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

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
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
Image
The flowers do fade, and wanton fields To wayward winter reckoning yields A honey tongue, a heart of gall, Is fancy's spring, but sorrow's fall.
Walter Raleigh
Image
Never spend anything before thou have it for borrowing is the canker and death of every man's estate.
Walter Raleigh
Image
Expressive glances Shall be our lances And pops of Sillery Our light artillery.
Walter Raleigh
Image
An anthology is like all the plums and orange peel picked out of a cake.
Walter Raleigh
Image
The most divine light only shineth on those minds which are purged from all worldly dross and human uncleanliness.
Walter Raleigh
