More quotes by John Donne
As virtuous men pass mildly away, and whisper to their souls to go, whilst some of their sad friends do say, the breath goes now, and some say no.
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
As states subsist in part by keeping their weaknesses from being known, so is it the quiet of families to have their chancery and their parliament within doors, and to compose and determine all emergent differences there.
John Donne
And when a whirl-winde hath blowne the dust of the Churchyard into the Church, and man sweeps out the dust of the Church into the Church-yard, who will undertake to sift those dusts again, and to pronounce, This is the Patrician, this is the noble flower, and this the yeomanly, this the Plebian bran.
John Donne
Pleasure is none, if not diversified.
John Donne
Whilst my physicians by their love are grown Cosmographers, and I their map, who lie Flat on this bed.
John Donne
Religion is not a melancholy, the spirit of God is not a damper.
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
we give each other a smile with a future in it
John Donne
That which attempts to elevate the ugly to the level of beauty becomes neither but an obscenity.
John Donne
Nothing but man of all envenomed things, doth work upon itself, with inborn stings.
John Donne
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
Full nakedness! All my joys are due to thee, as souls unbodied, bodies unclothed must be, to taste whole joys.
John Donne
When God's hand is bent to strike, it is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God but to fall out of the hands of the living God is a horror beyond our expression, beyond our imagination.
John Donne
Love's mysteries in souls do grow, But yet the body is his book.
John Donne
And new Philosophy calls all in doubt, the element of fire is quite put out the Sun is lost, and the earth, and no mans wit can well direct him where to look for it.
John Donne
Without outward declarations, who can conclude an inward love?
John Donne
Let man's soul be a sphere, and then, in this, The intelligence that moves, devotion is.
John Donne
In the first minute that my soul is infused, the Image of God is imprinted in my soul so forward is God in my behalf, and so early does he visit me.
John Donne
Who are a little wise the best fools be.
John Donne
