More quotes by John Donne

Image
All whom war, dearth, age, agues, tyrannies, Despair, law, chance, hath slain.
John Donne
Image
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
Image
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
Image
Busy old fool, unruly Sun, why dost thou thus through windows and through curtains call on us? Must to thy motions lovers seasons run?
John Donne
Image
To a large degree, since the beginning of time, charisma or the lack of it has impacted upon those in quest of acclaim. As media expands, this has become ever more vital. Thus, demeanor if unappealing, can defeat one's likelihood of success, causing the death of prospects whilst they are still embryonic.
John Donne
Image
Kind pity chokes my spleen.
John Donne
Image
Let man's soul be a sphere, and then, in this, The intelligence that moves, devotion is.
John Donne
Image
As he that fears God fears nothing else, so he that sees God sees everything else.
John Donne
Image
I am a little world made cunningly.
John Donne
Image
Come live with me, and be my love, And we will some new pleasures prove Of golden sands, and crystal brooks, With silken lines, and silver hooks.
John Donne
Image
I have done one braver thing than all the Worthies did, and yet a braver thence doth spring, which is, to keep that hid.
John Donne
Image
But think that we Are but turned aside to sleep.
John Donne
Image
Sleep with clean hands, either kept clean all day by integrity or washed clean at night by repentance.
John Donne
Image
Man hath weaved out a net, and this net throwne upon the Heavens, and now they are his own.
John Donne
Image
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
Image
It is too little to call man a little world Except God, man is a diminutive to nothing.
John Donne
Image
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
Image
The difference between the reason of man and the instinct of the beast is this, that the beast does but know, but the man knows that he knows.
John Donne
Image
So in a voice, so in a shapeless flame, Angels affect us often.
John Donne
Image
That subtle knot which makes us man So must pure lovers souls descend T affections, and to faculties, Which sense may reach and apprehend, Else a great Prince in prison lies.
John Donne
