More quotes by John Donne

Image
When I died last, and, Dear, I die As often as from thee I go Though it be but an hour ago, And lovers' hours be full eternity.
John Donne
Image
There is no health physicians say that we, at best, enjoy but neutrality.
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
What gnashing is not a comfort, what gnawing of the worm is not a tickling, what torment is not a marriage bed to this damnation, to be secluded eternally, eternally, eternally from the sight of God?
John Donne
Image
O Lord, never suffer us to think that we can stand by ourselves, and not need thee.
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
Without outward declarations, who can conclude an inward love?
John Donne
Image
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
Image
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
Image
The rich have no more of the kingdom of heaven than they have purchased of the poor by their alms.
John Donne
Image
The day breaks not, it is my heart.
John Donne
Image
Great sorrows cannot speak.
John Donne
Image
Lust-bred diseases rot thee.
John Donne
Image
The sun must not set upon anger, much less will I let the sun set upon the anger of God towards me.
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
The Phoenix riddle hath more wit By us, we two being one, are it. So to one neutral thing both sexes fit, We die and rise the same, and prove Mysterious by this love.
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
Old grandsires talk of yesterday with sorrow, And for our children we reserve tomorrow.
John Donne
Image
Humiliation is the beginning of sanctification.
John Donne
Image
Wicked is not much worse than indiscreet.
John Donne
