Raleigh

Famous quotes containing the word 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!
    —Sir Walter Raleigh (1861–1922)

    Fain would I climb, yet fear I to fall.
    —Sir Walter Raleigh (1552–1618)

    Even such is Time, which takes in trust
    Our youth, our joys, and all we have,
    And pays us but with age and dust,
    Who in the dark and silent grave
    When we have wandered all our ways
    Shuts up the story of our days.
    And from which earth, and grave, and dust,
    The Lord shall raise me up I trust.
    —Sir Walter Raleigh (1552–1618)
