More quotes by John Donne

John Donne
In heaven it is always autumn.
John Donne
One short sleep past, we wake eternally, And Death shall be no more Death, thou shalt die.
John Donne
And what is so intricate, so entangling as death? Who ever got out of a winding sheet?

John Donne
A man that is not afraid of a Lion is afraid of a Cat .
John Donne
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
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
Verse hath a middle nature: heaven keeps souls, The grave keeps bodies, verse the fame enrols.
John Donne
I count all that part of my life lost which I spent not in communion with God, or in doing good.
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
