More quotes by John Donne
And swear No where Lives a woman true, and fair.
John Donne
Religion is not a melancholy, the spirit of God is not a damper.
John Donne
To rage, to lust, to write to, to commend, All is the purlieu of the god of love.
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
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
Poor intricated soul! Riddling, perplexed, labyrinthical soul!
John Donne
This only is charity, to do all, all that we can.
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
I shall die reading since my book and a grave are so near.
John Donne
. . . Change is the nursery Of musicke, joy, life and eternity.
John Donne
And what is so intricate, so entangling as death? Who ever got out of a winding sheet?
John Donne

John Donne
No man is an island, entire of itself every man is a piece of the continent.
John Donne
If poisonous minerals, and if that tree, Whose fruit threw death on else immortal us, If lecherous goats, if serpents envious Cannot be damned alas why should I be?
John Donne
To be no part of any body, is to be nothing.
John Donne
Festive alcohol sometimes leads to an excess of honesty.
John Donne
My love though silly is more brave.
John Donne
Who are a little wise the best fools be.
John Donne
Die not, poore death, nor yet canst thou kill me.
John Donne
And new Philosophy calls all in doubt, the element of fire is quite put out the Sun is lost, and the earth, and no mans wit can well direct him where to look for it.
John Donne
