Famous quotes by sir walter:

    “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)

    “Whosoever, in writing a modern history, shall follow truth too near the heels, it may haply strike out his teeth.”
    —Sir Walter Raleigh (1552–1618)
