If the heart be right, it matters not which way the head liesWalter Raleigh
The gain of lying is, not to be trusted by any, nor to be believed when we speak the truth.
Walter Raleigh
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
Who so taketh in hand to frame any state or government ought to presuppose that all men are evil, and at occasions will show themselves so to be.
Walter Raleigh
In an examination those who do not wish to know ask questions of those who cannot tell.
Walter Raleigh
To His Son Three things there be that prosper up apace And flourish whilst they grow asunder far But on a day, they meet all in one place, And when they meet they one another mar And they be these the wood, the weed, the wag. The wood is that which makes the gallows tree The weed is that which strings the hangman's bag The wag, my pretty knave, betokeneth thee. Mark well, dear boy, whilst these assemble not, Green springs the tree, hemp grows, the wag is wild But when they meet, it makes the timber rot, It frets the halter, and it chokes the child. Then bless thee, and beware, and let us pray We part not with thee at this meeting day.
