Death be not proud, though some have called thee Mighty and dreadful, for thou art not so. For, those, whom thou think'st thou dost overthrow. Die not, poor death, nor yet canst thou kill me.

More quotes by John Donne
The flea, though he kill none, he does all the harm he can.
John Donne
Between these two, the denying of sins, which we have done, and the bragging of sins, which we have not done, what a space, what a compass is there, for millions of millions of sins!
John Donne
There is nothing that God hath established in a constant course of nature, and which therefore is done every day, but would seem a Miracle, and exercise our admiration, if it were done but once.
John Donne
All whom war, dearth, age, agues, tyrannies, Despair, law, chance, hath slain.
John Donne
Affliction is a treasure, and scarce any man hath enough of it. No man hath affliction enough that is not matured and ripened by it and made fit for God.
John Donne
So in a voice, so in a shapeless flame, Angels affect us often.
John Donne
That thou remember them, some claim as debt I think it mercy, if thou wilt forget.
John Donne
we give each other a smile with a future in it
John Donne
Licence my roving hands, and let them go Before, behind, between, above, below.
John Donne
Death comes equally to us all, and makes us all equal when it comes.
John Donne
But I do nothing upon myself, and yet I am my own executioner.
John Donne
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
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
Any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in Mankind And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls it tolls for thee.
John Donne
But think that we Are but turned aside to sleep.
John Donne
I shall die reading since my book and a grave are so near.
John Donne
Take me to you, imprison me, for I, except you enthrall me, never shall be free, nor ever chaste, except you ravish me.
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
Commemoration of Pandita Mary Ramabai, Translator of the Scriptures, 1922 A memory of yesterday's pleasures, a fear of tomorrow's dangers, a straw under my knees, a noise in my ear, a light in my eye, an anything, a nothing, a fancy, a chimera in my brain, troubles me in my prayers.
John Donne
I shall not live 'till I see God and when I have seen Him, I shall never die.
John Donne
