Who are a little wise the best fools be.
John Donne
Image
Love, all alike, no season knows, nor clime, nor hours, days, months, which are the rags of time.
John Donne
Image
That soul that can reflect upon itself, consider itself, is more than so.
John Donne
Image
Friends are ourselves.
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
The rich have no more of the kingdom of heaven than they have purchased of the poor by their alms.
John Donne
Image
Poor heretics there be,Which think to establish dangerous constancy,But I have told them, ‘Since you will be true,You shall be true to them, who are false to you.
John Donne
Image
'Tis the year's midnight, and it is the day's.
John Donne
Image
Love is a growing, or full constant light And his first minute, after noon, is night.
John Donne
Image
Nature's lay idiot, I taught thee to love.
John Donne
Image
Death comes equally to us all, and makes us all equal when it comes.
John Donne
Image
Poor intricated soul! Riddling, perplexed, labyrinthical soul!
John Donne
Image
And what is so intricate, so entangling as death? Who ever got out of a winding sheet?
John Donne
Image
If ever any beauty I did see, Which I desired, and got, 'twas but a dream of thee.
John Donne
Image
I would not that death should take me asleep. I would not have him merely seize me, and only declare me to be dead, but win me, and overcome me. When I must shipwreck, I would do it in a sea, where mine impotency might have some excuse not in a sullen weedy lake, where I could not have so much as exercise for my swimming.
John Donne
Image
But I do nothing upon myself, and yet I am my own executioner.
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
My world's both parts, and 'o! Both parts must die.
John Donne
Image
O Lord, never suffer us to think that we can stand by ourselves, and not need thee.
John Donne
Image
Send home my long strayed eyes to me, Which (Oh) too long have dwelt on thee.
John Donne
