Talking much is a sign of vanity, for the one who is lavish with words is cheap in deeds.

Walter Raleigh 115 quotes

Remember, that if thou marry f...

Remember, that if thou marry for beauty, thou bindest thyself all thy life for that which perchance will neither last nor please thee one year; and when thou hast it, it will be to thee of no price at all; for the desire dieth when it is attained, and the affection perisheth when it is satisfied.

Walter Raleigh 115 quotes

Our shipping and sea service is our best and safest defence as being the only fortification and rampart of England.

Walter Raleigh 115 quotes

Historians desiring to write the actions of men, ought to set down the simple truth, and not say anything for love or hatred; also to choose such an opportunity for writing as it may be lawful to think what they will, and write what they think, which is a rare happiness of the time.

Walter Raleigh 115 quotes

But in vain she did conjure hi...

But in vain she did conjure him, To depart her presence so, Having a thousand tongues t' allure him And but one to bid him go. When lips invite, And eyes delight, And cheeks as fresh as rose in June, Persuade delay,-- What boots to say Forego me now, come to me soon.

Walter Raleigh 115 quotes

Except thou desire to hasten thine end, take this for a general rule, that thou never add any artificial heat to thy body by wine or spice.

Walter Raleigh 115 quotes

There is nothing more becoming...

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 115 quotes

In an examination those who do not wish to know ask questions of those who cannot tell.

This is a sharp medicine, but it is a physician for all diseases and miseries.

Walter Raleigh 115 quotes

O eloquent, just, and mighty D...

O eloquent, just, and mighty Death! whom none could advise, thou hast persuaded; what none hath dared, thou hast done; and whom all the world hath flattered, thou only hath cast out of the world and despised. Thou hast drawn together all the far-stretched greatness, all the pride, cruelty, and ambition of man, and covered it all over with these two narrow words, Hic jacet!

Walter Raleigh 115 quotes

In a letter to a friend the th...

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 115 quotes

It is the nature of men having...

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 115 quotes

[It is a basic principle of a tyrant] to unarm his people of weapons, money and all means whereby they resist his power.

Walter Raleigh 115 quotes

Give my scallop-shell of quiet, My staff of faith to walk upon, My scrip of joy, immortal diet, My bottle of salvation, My gown of glory, hope's true gage; And thus I'll take my pilgrimage.

Walter Raleigh 115 quotes

Passions are liken'd best to f...

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

Walter Raleigh 115 quotes

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 115 quotes

He that doth not as other men ...

He that doth not as other men do, but endeavoureth that which ought to be done, shall thereby rather incur peril than preservation; for who so laboreth to be sincerely perfect and good shall necessarily perish, living among men that are generally evil.
