Sir Walter Raleigh

Famous quotes containing the words walter raleigh, sir, walter and/or raleigh:

    But true love is a durable fire
    In the mind ever burning;
    Never sick, never old, never dead,
    From itself never turning.

    Never say a humorous thing to a man who does not possess humour. He will always use it in evidence against you.

    The sun may set and rise:
    But we contrariwise
    Sleep after our short light
    One everlasting night.
    —Sir Walter Raleigh (1552?–1618)

    I have loved her all my youth,
    But now old, as you see;
    Love likes not the falling fruit
    From the withered tree.
    Know that love is a careless child
    And forgets promise past;
    He is blind, he is deaf when he list
    And in faith never fast.
    —Sir Walter Raleigh (1552?–1618)
