Image
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
Image
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
Image
God is so omnipresent. . . . God is an angel in an angel, and a stone in a stone, and a straw in a straw.
John Donne

John Donne

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
Verse hath a middle nature: heaven keeps souls, The grave keeps bodies, verse the fame enrols.
John Donne
Image
All other things to their destruction draw, Only our love hath no decay.
John Donne
Image
That thou remember them, some claim as debt I think it mercy, if thou wilt forget.
John Donne
Image
O Lord, never suffer us to think that we can stand by ourselves, and not need thee.
John Donne
Image
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
Image
God employs several translators some pieces are translated by age, some by sickness, some by war, some by justice.
John Donne
