More quotes by John Donne
It is too little to call man a little world Except God, man is a diminutive to nothing.
John Donne
At the round earth's imagined corners, blow Your trumpets, angels, and arise, arise From death, you numberless infinities Of souls **** All whom war, dearth, age, agues, tyrannies, Despair, law, chance, hath slain.
John Donne
Death comes equally to us all, and makes us all equal when it comes.
John Donne
Take me to you, imprison me, for I, except you enthrall me, never shall be free, nor ever chaste, except you ravish me.
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

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
But think that we Are but turned aside to sleep.
John Donne
Lust-bred diseases rot thee.
John Donne
As he that fears God fears nothing else, so he that sees God sees everything else.
John Donne
There is no health physicians say that we, at best, enjoy but neutrality.
John Donne
I am a little world made cunningly.
John Donne
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
At the round earth's imagined corners, blow your trumpets, angels.
John Donne
No man is an island, entire of itself every man is a piece of the continent.
John Donne
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
