Walter Raleigh: Citáty anglicky

“Fame's but a hollow echo; gold, pure clay;
Honour, the darling but of one short day,
Beauty—th' eye's idol—but a damasked skin;
State, but a golden prison to live in
And torture free-born minds.”

Walter Raleigh

&quot;A Farewell to the Vanities of the World&quot; http://www.bartleby.com/331/467.html, lines 3–7. Author uncertain. Attributed to Henry Wotton and to Raleigh. <br class="br">Attributed

“Speaking much also is a sign of vanity; for he that is lavish in words is a niggard in deeds.”

Walter Raleigh

“Even such is time, that takes in trust
Our youth, our joys, our 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.
But from this earth, this grave, this dust,
My God shall raise me up, I trust!”

Walter Raleigh

His Own Epitaph, written the night before his execution (1618) and found in his Bible in the Gate-house at Westminster; reported in Bartlett's Familiar Quotations, 10th ed. (1919).

“So the heart be right, it is no matter which way the head lies.”

Walter Raleigh

Stebbing's Sir Walter Raleigh, chapter 30, gives these as Raleigh's words on being asked by the executioner which way he wanted to lay his head on the block.

“Cowards fear to die; but courage stout,
Rather than live in snuff, will be put out.”
