More quotes by Walter Raleigh
War begets quiet, quiet idleness, idleness disorder, disorder ruin likewise ruin order, order virtue, virtue glory, and good fortune.
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
Talking much is a sign of vanity, for the one who is lavish with words is cheap in deeds.
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!
Walter Raleigh
A man must first govern himself ere he is fit to govern a family and his family ere he be fit to bear the government of the commonwealth.
Walter Raleigh
It would be an unspeakable advantage, both to the public and private, if men would consider that great truth, that no man is wise or safe but he that is honest.
Walter Raleigh
Passions are likened best to floods and streams: The shallow murmur, but the deep are dumb.
Walter Raleigh
It is the nature of men having escaped one extreme, which by force they were constrained long to endure, to run headlong into the other extreme, forgetting that virtue doth always consist in the mean.
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.
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
But true love is a durable fire, In the mind ever burning, Never sick, never old, never dead, From itself never turning.
Walter Raleigh
Fain would I climb, yet fear I to fall.
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
Our bodies are but the anvils of pain and disease and our minds the hives of unnumbered cares.
Walter Raleigh
Trust few men above all, keep your follies to yourself.
Walter Raleigh
Whoever commands the sea, commands the trade whosoever commands the trade of the world commands the riches of the world, and consequently the world itself.
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
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
Above all things, be not made an ass to carry the burdens of other men if any friend desire thee to be his surety, give him a part of what thou has to spare if he presses thee further, he is not thy friend at all.
Walter Raleigh
Passions are liken'd best to floods and streams: The shallow murmur, but the deep are dumb So, when affection yields discourse, it seems The bottom is but shallow whence they come. They that are rich in words, in words discover
