Image
We read not that Christ ever exercised force but once and that was to drive profane ones out of his Temple, not to force them in.
John Milton
Image
Confidence imparts a wonderful inspiration to the possessor.
John Milton
Image
Blind mouths! That scarce themselves know how to hold A sheep-hook.
John Milton
Image
Nor think thou with wind Of æry threats to awe whom yet with deeds Thou canst not.
John Milton
Image
Th' ethereal mould Incapable of stain would soon expel Her mischief, and purge off the baser fire, Victorious. Thus repuls'd, our final hope Is flat despair.
John Milton
Image
The hungry sheep look up, and are not fed, But, swoln with wind, and the rank mist they draw, Rot inwardly, and foul contagion spread: Besides what the grim wolf with privy paw Daily devours apace, and nothing said But that two-handed engine at the door Stands ready to smite once, and smite no more.
John Milton
Image
But that from us aught should ascend to Heav'n So prevalent as to concern the mind Of God, high-bless'd, or to incline His will, Hard to belief may seem yet this will prayer.
John Milton
Image
Tis chastity, my brother, chastity She that has that is clad in complete steel, And, like a quiver'd nymph with arrows keen, May trace huge forests, and unharbour'd heaths, Infamous hills, and sandy perilous wilds Where, through the sacred rays of chastity, No savage fierce, bandite, or mountaineer, Will dare to soil her virgin purity.
John Milton
Image
Our reason is our law.
John Milton
Image
Solitude sometimes is best society.
John Milton
Image
Where all life dies death lives.
John Milton
Image
Spirits that live throughout, Vital in every part, not as frail man, In entrails, heart or head, liver or reins, Cannot but by annihilating die.
John Milton
Image
Part of my soul I seek thee, and claim thee my other half
John Milton
Image
Courage never to submit of yield.
John Milton
Image
Boast not of what thou would'st have done, but do.
John Milton
Image
Nor aught availed him now to have built in heaven high towers nor did he scrape by all his engines, but was headlong sent with his industrious crew to build in hell.
John Milton
Image
I must not quarrel with the will Of highest dispensation, which herein, Haply had ends above my reach to know.
John Milton
Image
It were a journey like the path to heaven, To help you find them.
John Milton
Image
The oracles are dumb, No voice or hideous hum Runs through the arched roof in words deceiving. Apollo from his shrine Can no more divine, With hollow shriek the steep of Delphos leaving. No nightly trance or breathed spell Inspires the pale-eyed priest from the prophetic cell.
John Milton
Image
The nodding horror of whose shady brows Threats the forlorn and wandering passenger.
John Milton
