Image
And if by prayer Incessant I could hope to change the will Of Him who all things can, I would not cease To weary Him with my assiduous cries.
John Milton
Image
Haste thee, Nymph, and bring with thee Jest, and youthful Jollity, Quips, and Cranks, and wanton Wiles, Nods, and Becks, and wreathed Smiles, Such as hang on Hebe's cheek, And love to live in dimple sleek Sport that wrinkled Care derides, And Laughter holding both his sides.
John Milton
Image
It is not good that man should be alone. ... Hitherto all things that have been named, were approved of God to be very good: loneliness is the first thing which God's eye named not good: whether it be a thing, or the want of something, I labour not.

Meanwhile the Adversary of God and man, Satan with thoughts inflamed of highest design, Puts on swift wings, and towards the gates of hell Explores his solitary flight.
John Milton
Image
Ev'n them who kept thy truth so pure of old, When all our fathers worshipp'd stocks and stones.
John Milton
Image
. . . for beauty stands In the admiration only of weak minds Led captive. Cease to admire, and all her plumes Fall flat and shrink into a trivial toy, At every sudden slighting quite abash'd.
John Milton
Image
Better to reign in hell than serve in heav'n.
John Milton
Image
Sole reigning holds the tyranny of Heav'n.
John Milton
Image
The end then of learning is to repair the ruins of our first parents by regaining to know God aright, and out of that knowledge to love him, to imitate him, to be like him, as we may the nearest by possessing our souls of true virtue, which being united to the heavenly grace of faith makes up the highest perfection.
John Milton
Image
Thus I set my printless feet O'er the cowslip's velvet head, That bends not as I tread.
John Milton
Image
Who can in reason then or right assume monarchy over such as live by right his equals, if in power or splendor less, in freedom equal?
John Milton
Image
Reason is also choice.
John Milton

Let not England forget her precedence of teaching nations how to live.
John Milton

Never can true reconcilement grow where wounds of deadly hate have pierced so deep.
