More quotes by John Donne
Whilst my physicians by their love are grown Cosmographers, and I their map, who lie Flat on this bed.
John Donne
And if there be any addition to knowledge, it is rather a new knowledge than a greater knowledge rather a singularity in a desire of proposing something that was not knownat all beforethananimproving, anadvancing, a multiplying of former inceptions and by that means, no knowledge comes to be perfect.
John Donne
But think that we Are but turned aside to sleep.
John Donne
When I died last, and, Dear, I die As often as from thee I go Though it be but an hour ago, And lovers' hours be full eternity.
John Donne
What gnashing is not a comfort, what gnawing of the worm is not a tickling, what torment is not a marriage bed to this damnation, to be secluded eternally, eternally, eternally from the sight of God?
John Donne
Be more than man, or thou'rt less than an ant.
John Donne
Tis true, 'tis day what though it be? O wilt thou therefore rise from me? Why should we rise, because 'tis light? Did we lie down, because 'twas night? Love which in spite of darkness brought us hither Should in despite of light keep us together.
John Donne
All whom war, dearth, age, agues, tyrannies, Despair, law, chance, hath slain.
John Donne
Keep us, Lord, so awake in the duties of our calling that we may sleep in thy peace and wake in thy glory.
John Donne
I throw myself down in my chamber, and I call in, and invite God, and his Angels thither, and when they are there, I neglect God and his Angels, for the noise of a fly, for the rattling of a coach, for the whining of a door.
John Donne
When my mouth shall be filled with dust, and the worm shall feed, and feed sweetly upon me, when the ambitious man shall have no satisfaction if the poorest alive tread upon him, nor the poorest receive any contentment in being made equal to princes, for they shall be equal but in dust.
John Donne
O how feeble is man's power, that if good fortune fall, cannot add another hour, nor a lost hour recall!
John Donne
My world's both parts, and 'o! Both parts must die.
John Donne
In heaven it is always autumn.
John Donne
. . . Change is the nursery Of musicke, joy, life and eternity.
John Donne
Poor intricated soul! Riddling, perplexed, labyrinthical soul!
John Donne
When God's hand is bent to strike, it is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God but to fall out of the hands of the living God is a horror beyond our expression, beyond our imagination.
John Donne
Who are a little wise the best fools be.
John Donne
To rage, to lust, to write to, to commend, All is the purlieu of the god of love.
John Donne
God himself took a day to rest in, and a good man's grave is his Sabbath.
John Donne
