...Whatever dies was not mixed equally, If our two loves be one Or thou and I love so alike That none can slacken, none can die.
John Donne
Image
This only is charity, to do all, all that we can.
John Donne
Image
Death, thou shalt die.
John Donne
Image
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
Image
To rage, to lust, to write to, to commend, All is the purlieu of the god of love.
John Donne
Image
I shall not live 'till I see God and when I have seen Him, I shall never die.

Of all the commentaries on the Scriptures, good examples are the best.
John Donne
Image
All whom war, dearth, age, agues, tyrannies, Despair, law, chance, hath slain.
John Donne
Image
I count all that part of my life lost which I spent not in communion with God, or in doing good.
John Donne
Image
We can die by it, if not live by love, And if unfit for tombs and hearse Our legend be, it will be fit for verse And if no peace of chronicle we prove, We'll build in sonnet pretty rooms As well a well wrought urne becomes The greatest ashes, as half-acre tombs.
John Donne
Image
We love and understand talent we wish it be within us. The truly gifted, those exceptional few, must wait for the world to catch up.
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
So, so, break off this last lamenting kiss, Which sucks two souls, and vapors both away.
John Donne
Image
Humiliation is the beginning of sanctification.
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
ask not for whom the bell tolls it tolls for thee
John Donne
Image
Despair is the damp of hell, as joy is the serenity of heaven.
John Donne
Image
Sleep with clean hands, either kept clean all day by integrity or washed clean at night by repentance.
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
Love is a growing, or full constant light And his first minute, after noon, is night.
John Donne
