Image
Death, thou shalt die.
John Donne
Image
The day breaks not, it is my heart.
John Donne
Image
My face in thine eye, thine in mine appears, And true plain hearts do in the faces rest Where can we find two better hemispheres, Without sharp north, without declining west? Whatever dies, was not mix'd equally If our two loves be one, or, thou and I Love so alike, that none do slacken, none can die.
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
As he that fears God fears nothing else, so he that sees God sees everything else.
John Donne
Image
Love, all alike, no season knows, nor clime, nor hours, days, months, which are the rags of time.
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
God himself took a day to rest in, and a good man's grave is his Sabbath.
John Donne
Image
Kind pity chokes my spleen.
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
All other things to their destruction draw, Only our love hath no decay.
John Donne
Image
Love's mysteries in souls do grow, But yet the body is his book.
John Donne
Image
And dare love that, and say so too, And forget the He and She.
John Donne
Image
My world's both parts, and 'o! Both parts must die.
John Donne
Image
Between these two, the denying of sins, which we have done, and the bragging of sins, which we have not done, what a space, what a compass is there, for millions of millions of sins!
John Donne
Image
Pleasure is none, if not diversified.
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
Death comes equally to us all, and makes us all equal when it comes.
John Donne
Image
Who are a little wise the best fools be.
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
