More quotes by John Donne

John Donne
Death, thou shalt die.
John Donne

All other things to their destruction draw, Only our love hath no decay.
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
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
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.
John Donne

John Donne
Nothing but man of all envenomed things, doth work upon itself, with inborn stings.
John Donne
I wonder by my troth, what thou, and I Did, till we loved? were we not weaned till then? But sucked on country pleasures, childishly? Or snorted we in the seven sleepers' den?
John Donne
Whilst my physicians by their love are grown Cosmographers, and I their map, who lie Flat on this bed.
John Donne
Affliction is a treasure, and scarce any man hath enough of it.
John Donne
Let man's soul be a sphere, and then, in this, The intelligence that moves, devotion is.
John Donne
This only is charity, to do all, all that we can.
John Donne
To an incompetent judge I must not lie, but I may be silent to a competent I must answer.
John Donne
