More quotes by John Donne
Men are sponges, which, to pour out, receive Who know false play, rather than lose, deceive. For in best understandings sin began, Angels sinn'd first, then devils, and then man. Only perchance beasts sin not wretched we Are beasts in all but white integrity.
John Donne
God himself took a day to rest in, and a good man's grave is his Sabbath.
John Donne
Licence my roving hands, and let them go Before, behind, between, above, below.
John Donne
At most, the greatest persons are but great wens, and excrescences men of wit and delightful conversation, but as morals for ornament, except they be so incorporated into the body of the world that they contribute something to the sustentation of the whole.
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
To an incompetent judge I must not lie, but I may be silent to a competent I must answer.
John Donne
And dare love that, and say so too, And forget the He and She.
John Donne
It is too little to call man a little world Except God, man is a diminutive to nothing.
John Donne
In the first minute that my soul is infused, the Image of God is imprinted in my soul so forward is God in my behalf, and so early does he visit me.
John Donne
There is hook in every benefit, that sticks in his jaws that takes that benefit, and draws him whither the benefactor will.
John Donne
Sleep with clean hands, either kept clean all day by integrity or washed clean at night by repentance.
John Donne
My face in thine eye, thine in mine appears, And true plain hearts do in the faces rest Where can we find two better hemispheres, Without sharp north, without declining west? Whatever dies, was not mix'd equally If our two loves be one, or, thou and I Love so alike, that none do slacken, none can die.
John Donne
The flea, though he kill none, he does all the harm he can.
John Donne
Who are a little wise the best fools be.
John Donne
I am a little world made cunningly.
John Donne
Send home my long strayed eyes to me, Which (Oh) too long have dwelt on thee.
John Donne
Since you would save none of me, I bury some of you.
John Donne
I will not look upon the quickening sun, But straight her beauty to my sense shall run The air shall note her soft, the fire most pure Water suggest her clear, and the earth sure Time shall not lose our passages.
John Donne
Man hath weaved out a net, and this net throwne upon the Heavens, and now they are his own.
John Donne
But I do nothing upon myself, and yet I am my own executioner.
John Donne
