More quotes by John Milton
Thick as autumnal leaves that strow the brooks In Vallombrosa, where th' Etrurian shades High over-arch'd imbower.
John Milton
So little knows Any, but God alone, but perverts best things To worst abuse, or to their meanest use.
John Milton
Imparadis'd in one another's arms.
John Milton
But peaceful was the night Wherein the Prince of Light His reign of peace upon the earth began.
John Milton
If we think we regulate printing, thereby to rectify manners, we must regulate all regulations and pastimes, all that is delightful to man.
John Milton
From restless thoughts, that, like a deadly swarm Of hornets arm'd, no sooner found alone, But rush upon me thronging.
John Milton
Truth is as impossible to be soiled by any outward touch as the sunbeam.
John Milton
Or sweetest Shakespeare, Fancy's child!
John Milton
Oh, shame to men! devil with devil damn'd Firm concord holds, men only disagree Of creatures rational.
John Milton
And yet on the other hand unless warinesse be us'd, as good almost kill a Man as kill a good Book who kills a Man kills a reasonable creature, Gods Image, but hee who destroyes a good Booke, kills reason it selfe, kills the Image of God, as it were in the eye.
John Milton
Hail, holy light! offspring of heaven firstborn! Or of th' eternal co-eternal beam, May I express thee unblam'd? since God is light And never but in unapproached light Dwelt from eternity, dwelt then in thee, Bright effluence of bright essence increate!
John Milton
Arm the obdured breast with stubborn patience as with triple steel.
John Milton
Thou canst not touch the freedom of my mind.
John Milton
But now my task is smoothly done, I can fly, or I can run Quickly to the green earth's end, Where the bow'd welkin slow doth bend, And from thence can soar as soon To the corners of the Moon.
John Milton
The earth, though in comparison of heaven so small, nor glistering, may of solid good contain more plenty than the sun, that barren shines.
John Milton
It is for homely features to keep home,- They had their name thence coarse complexions And cheeks of sorry grain will serve to ply The sampler and to tease the huswife's wool. What need a vermeil-tinctur'd lip for that, Love-darting eyes, or tresses like the morn?
John Milton
For neither man nor angel can discern hypocrisy, the only evil that walks invisible, except to God alone.
John Milton
Our torments also may in length of time Become our Elements.
John Milton
Where glowing embers through the room Teach light to counterfeit a gloom.
John Milton
From haunted spring and dale Edg'd with poplar pale The parting genius is with sighing sent.
John Milton
