Walter Raleigh
'Tis a sharp medicine, but it will cure all that ails you.
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

Walter Raleigh
It is observed in the course of worldly things, that men's fortunes are oftener made by their tongues than by their virtues and more men's fortunes overthrown thereby than by vices.
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
Covetous ambition, thinking all too little which presently it hath, supposeth itself to stand in need of that which it hath not.
Walter Raleigh
Our shipping and sea service is our best and safest defence as being the only fortification and rampart of England.
Walter Raleigh
A wandering minstrel I A thing of shreds and patches Of ballads, songs and snatches And dreamy lullaby!
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
