Sir Walter Raleigh

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

    Thou didst create the night, but I made the lamp.
    Thou didst create clay, but I made the cup.
    Thou didst create the deserts, mountains and forests,
    I produced the orchards, gardens and groves.
    It is I who made the glass out of stone,
    And it is I who turn a poison into an antidote.
    Muhammad, Sir Iqbal (1873–1938)

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