John Donne
When one man dies, one chapter is not torn out of the book, but translated into a better language.
John Donne

John Donne
As he that fears God fears nothing else, so he that sees God sees everything else.
John Donne

John Donne
Any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in Mankind And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls it tolls for thee.
John Donne
God made sun and moon to distinguish the seasons, and day and night and we cannot have the fruits of the earth but in their seasons. But God hath made no decrees to distinguish the seasons of His mercies. In Paradise the fruits were ripe the first minute, and in heaven it is always autumn. His mercies are ever in their maturity.
John Donne

John Donne
Death be not proud, though some have called thee Mighty and dreadful, for thou art not so. For, those, whom thou think'st thou dost overthrow. Die not, poor death, nor yet canst thou kill me.
John Donne
There is nothing that God hath established in a constant course of nature, and which therefore is done every day, but would seem a Miracle, and exercise our admiration, if it were done but once.
John Donne
There is no health physicians say that we, at best, enjoy but neutrality.
John Donne
Festive alcohol sometimes leads to an excess of honesty.
John Donne
Love is a growing, or full constant light And his first minute, after noon, is night.
John Donne
