Commemoration of Richard Meux Benson, Founder of the Society of St John the Evangelist, 1915 Our critical day is not the very day of our death, but the whole course of our life I thank him, that prays for me when my bell tolls but I thank him much more, that catechizes me, or preaches to me, or instructs me how to live.

When I died last, and, Dear, I die As often as from thee I go Though it be but an hour ago, And lovers' hours be full eternity.
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
When my mouth shall be filled with dust, and the worm shall feed, and feed sweetly upon me, when the ambitious man shall have no satisfaction if the poorest alive tread upon him, nor the poorest receive any contentment in being made equal to princes, for they shall be equal but in dust.
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
If every gnat that flies were an archangel, all that could but tell me that there is a God and the poorest worm that creeps tells me that.
John Donne
Image
There is no health physicians say that we, at best, enjoy but neutrality.
