Additional quotes by Walter Raleigh

The world itself is but a larger prison, out of which some are daily selected for execution.

All histories do shew, and wise politicians do hold it necessary that, for the well-governing of every Commonweal, it behoveth man to presuppose that all men are evil, and will declare themselves so to be when occasion is offered.

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