More quotes by John Donne

Image
Full nakedness! All my joys are due to thee, as souls unbodied, bodies unclothed must be, to taste whole joys.
John Donne
Image
Oh do not die, for I shall hate All women so, when thou art gone.
John Donne
Image
God made sun and moon to distinguish the seasons, and day and night and we cannot have the fruits of the earth but in their seasons. But God hath made no decrees to distinguish the seasons of His mercies. In Paradise the fruits were ripe the first minute, and in heaven it is always autumn. His mercies are ever in their maturity.
John Donne
Image
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
Image
Let me arrest thy thoughts, wonder with me, Why ploughing, building, ruling and the rest, Or most of those arts, whence our lives are blessed, By cursed Cain's race invented be, And blessed Seth vexed us with astronomy.
John Donne
Image
God is so omnipresent. . . . God is an angel in an angel, and a stone in a stone, and a straw in a straw.
John Donne
Image
Kind pity chokes my spleen.
John Donne
Image
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
Image
As states subsist in part by keeping their weaknesses from being known, so is it the quiet of families to have their chancery and their parliament within doors, and to compose and determine all emergent differences there.
John Donne
Image
Can there be worse sickness, than to know that we are never well, nor can be so?
John Donne
Image
we give each other a smile with a future in it
John Donne
Image
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
Image
Eternity is not an everlasting flux of time, but time is as a short parenthesis in a long period.
John Donne
Image
Let man's soul be a sphere, and then, in this, The intelligence that moves, devotion is.
John Donne
Image
Death, thou shalt die.
John Donne
Image
As God loves a cheerful giver, so he also loves a cheerful taker. Who takes hold of his gifts with a glad heart.
John Donne
Image
In heaven it is always autumn.
John Donne
Image
Humiliation is the beginning of sanctification.
John Donne
Image
True joy is the earnest which we have of heaven, it is the treasure of the soul, and therefore should be laid in a safe place, and nothing in this world is safe to place it in.
John Donne

Of all the commentaries on the Scriptures, good examples are the best.
