Walter Raleigh
All men are evil and will declare themselves to be so when occasion is offered.
Walter Raleigh
What is our life? A play of passion. Our mirth the music of division. Our mother's wombs the tyring houses be, Where we are drest for this short Comedy.
Walter Raleigh
To live thy better, let thy worst thoughts die.
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

Walter Raleigh
If all the world and love were young, And truth in every shepherd's tongue, These pretty pleasures might me move To live with thee, and be thy love.
Walter Raleigh
Flatterers are the worst kind of traitors, for they will strengthen thy imperfections, encourage thee in all evils, correct thee in nothing, but so shadow and paint thy follies and vices as thou shalt never, by their will, discover good from evil, or vice from virtue.

Walter Raleigh
Trust few men above all, keep your follies to yourself.
Walter Raleigh

Walter Raleigh
Bad language or abuse, I never, never use, Whatever the emergency Though 'Bother it' I may Occasionally say, I never use a big, big D : What, never? : No, never! : What never? : Well, hardly ever! : Hardly ever swears a big, big D Then give three cheers, and one cheer more, For the well-bred Captain of the Pinafore!
Walter Raleigh
Oh, doughty sons of Hungary! May all success Attend and bless Your warlike ironmongery!
Walter Raleigh
Never spend anything before thou have it for borrowing is the canker and death of every man's estate.
Walter Raleigh
The necessity of war, which among human actions is the most lawless, hath some kind of affinity with the necessity of law.
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
Fain would I climb, yet fear I to fall.
Walter Raleigh
Love likes not the falling fruit, Nor the withered tree.
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
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.
