Raleigh

Famous quotes containing the word raleigh:

    But from this earth, this grave, this dust,
    My God shall raise me up, I trust.
    —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)

    He that doth not as other men do, but endeavoureth that which ought to be done, shall thereby rather incur peril than preservation; for whoso laboureth to be sincerely perfect and good shall necessarily perish, living among men that are generally evil.
    —Sir Walter Raleigh (1552–1618)
