More quotes by 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
The difference between the reason of man and the instinct of the beast is this, that the beast does but know, but the man knows that he knows.
John Donne
Send home my long strayed eyes to me, Which (Oh) too long have dwelt on thee.
John Donne
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
The rich have no more of the kingdom of heaven than they have purchased of the poor by their alms.
John Donne
And what is so intricate, so entangling as death? Who ever got out of a winding sheet?
John Donne
Sleep with clean hands, either kept clean all day by integrity or washed clean at night by repentance.
John Donne
God himself took a day to rest in, and a good man's grave is his Sabbath.
John Donne
Busy old fool, unruly Sun, why dost thou thus through windows and through curtains call on us? Must to thy motions lovers seasons run?
John Donne
As he that fears God fears nothing else, so he that sees God sees everything else.
John Donne
There is hook in every benefit, that sticks in his jaws that takes that benefit, and draws him whither the benefactor will.
John Donne
All whom war, dearth, age, agues, tyrannies, Despair, law, chance, hath slain.
John Donne
'Tis the year's midnight, and it is the day's.
John Donne
Since you would save none of me, I bury some of you.
John Donne
But I do nothing upon myself, and yet I am my own executioner.
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
ask not for whom the bell tolls it tolls for thee
John Donne
Twice or thrice had I loved thee before I knew thy face or name, so in a voice, so in a shapeless flame, angels affect us oft, and worshiped be.
John Donne
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
That which attempts to elevate the ugly to the level of beauty becomes neither but an obscenity.
John Donne
