Sir Walter Raleigh

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

    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)

    Right now he’s suffering the cruelest tortures the Germans can devise. But he won’t talk—not as long as he can stand that punishment. And no human body can stand it too long—not even this wonderful, tough guy from Minnesota.
    John Monks, Jr., U.S. screenwriter, Sy Bartlett, and Henry Hathaway. Gibson (Frank Lattimore? Walter Abel? Melville Cooper?)

    If all the world and love were young,
    And truth in every shepherd’s tongue,
    These pretty pleasures might me move
    To live with thee and be thy Love.
    —Sir Walter Raleigh (1552?–1618)
