Raleigh

Famous quotes containing the word raleigh:

    Whoso desireth to know what will be hereafter, let him think of what is past, for the world hath ever been in a circular revolution; whatsoever is now, was heretofore; and things past or present, are no other than such as shall be again: Redit orbis in orbem.
    —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)

    And when I’m introduced to one
    I wish I thought What Jolly Fun!
    —Sir Walter Raleigh (1861–1922)
