Image
Myself, and all the Angelic Host, that stand in the sight of God enthroned, our happy state hold, as you yours, while our obedience hold. On other surety none: freely we serve, because we freely love.
John Milton
Image
Nor think thou with wind Of æry threats to awe whom yet with deeds Thou canst not.
John Milton
Image
This is the month, and this the happy morn, wherein the Son of heaven's eternal King, of wedded Maid and Virgin Mother born, our great redemption from above did bring.
John Milton
Image
So dear to heav'n is saintly chastity, That when a soul is found sincerely so, A thousand liveried angels lackey her, Driving far off each thing of sin and guilt, And in clear dream and solemn vision Tell her of things that no gross ear can hear, Till oft converse with heav'nly habitants Begin to cast a beam on th' outward shape.
John Milton
Image
In discourse more sweet For eloquence the soul, song charms the sense. Others apart sat on a hill retir'd, In thoughts more elevate, and reason'd high Of providence, foreknowledge, will, and fate, Fix'd fate, free-will, foreknowledge absolute And found no end, in wand'ring mazes lost.
John Milton
Image
I on the other side Us'd no ambition to commend my deeds The deeds themselves, though mute, spoke loud the doer.
John Milton
Image
Unless an age too late, or cold Climate, or years, damp my intended wing.
John Milton

Athens, the eye of Greece, mother of arts And eloquence.
John Milton
Image
Nor love thy life, nor hate but what thou livest, Live well how long, or short, permit to Heaven.
John Milton
Image
Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely: and pined his loss
John Milton
Image
And sing to those that hold the vital shears And turn the adamantine spindle round, On which the fate of gods and men is wound.
John Milton
Image
United thoughts and counsels, equal hope And hazard in the glorious enterprise.
John Milton
Image
Our torments also may in length of time Become our elements, these piercing fires As soft as now severe, our temper changed Into their temper.
John Milton
Image
Where peace And rest can never dwell, hope never comes, That comes to all.
John Milton
Image
The Tree of Knowledge grew fast by, Knowledge of Good bought dear by knowing ill.
John Milton
Image
Rocks whereon greatest men have oftest wreck'd.
John Milton
Image
When we speak of knowing God, it must be understood with reference to man's limited powers of comprehension. God, as He really is, is far beyond man's imagination, let alone understanding. God has revealed only so much of Himself as our minds can conceive and the weakness of our nature can bear.
John Milton
Image
Thick as autumnal leaves that strow the brooks In Vallombrosa, where th' Etrurian shades High over-arch'd imbower.
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
Anarchy is the sure consequence of tyranny for no power that is not limited by laws can ever be protected by them.
