More quotes by 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
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
The difference between a rich man and a poor man is this--the former eats when he pleases, and the latter when he can get it.
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
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
Prevention is the daughter of intelligence.
Walter Raleigh
Remember, that if thou marry for beauty, thou bindest thyself all thy life for that which, perchance, will never last nor please thee one year and when thou hast it, it will be to thee of no price at all.
Walter Raleigh
It is not truth, but opinion that can travel the world without a passport.
Walter Raleigh
When a felon's not engaged in his employment Or maturing his felonious little plans His capacity for innocent enjoyment Is just as great as any honest man's Ah! When constabulary duty's to be done A policeman's lot is not a happy one.
Walter Raleigh
And when I'm introduced to one I wish I thought What Jolly Fun!
Walter Raleigh
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
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
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
There is nothing exempt from the peril of mutation the earth, heavens, and whole world is thereunto subject.
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
Whosoever in writing a modern history shall follow the truth too near the heels it may haply strike out his teeth.
Walter Raleigh
There never was a man of solid understanding, whose apprehensions are sober, and by a pensive inspection advised, but that he hath found by an irresistible necessity one true God and everlasting being.
Walter Raleigh
In a letter to a friend the thought is often unimportant, and the feeling, if it be only a desire to entertain him, every thing.
Walter Raleigh
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
The first draught serveth for health, the second for pleasure, the third for shame, the fourth for madness.
