Image
Nature hath no goal though she hath law.
John Donne
Image
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
Image
To be no part of any body, is to be nothing.
John Donne
Image
Sweetest love, I do not go, For weariness of thee, Nor in hope the world can show A fitter love for me But since that I Must die at last, 'tis best, To use my self in jest Thus by feign'd deaths to die.
John Donne
Image
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

Eternity is not an everlasting flux of time, but time is as a short parenthesis in a long period.
John Donne
Image
My love though silly is more brave.
John Donne
Image
I shall not live 'till I see God and when I have seen Him, I shall never die.
John Donne
Image
Licence my roving hands, and let them go Before, behind, between, above, below.
John Donne
Image
No man is an island, entire of itself every man is a piece of the continent.
John Donne
Image
Humiliation is the beginning of sanctification.
John Donne
Image
If we consider eternity, into that time never entered eternity is not an everlasting flux of time, but time is as a short parenthesis in a long period and eternity had been the same as it is, though time had never been.
John Donne
Image
O how feeble is man's power, that if good fortune fall, cannot add another hour, nor a lost hour recall!
John Donne
Image
In heaven it is always autumn.
John Donne
