More quotes by 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
O sun, to tell thee how I hate thy beams That bring to my remembrance from what state I fell, how glorious once above thy sphere.
John Milton
Image
Untwisting all the chains that tie The hidden soul of harmony.
John Milton
Image
Thy liquid notes that close the eye of day.
John Milton
Image
Beauty is Nature's coin, must not be hoarded, But must be current, and the good thereof Consists in mutual and partaken bliss.
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
Me miserable! Which way shall I fly Infinite wrath and infinite despair? Which way I fly is hell myself am hell And in the lowest deep a lower deep, Still threat'ning to devour me, opens wide, To which the hell I suffer seems a heaven.
John Milton
Image
Dark with excessive bright.
John Milton
Image
To many a youth and many a maid, dancing in the chequer'd shade.
John Milton
Image
O why did God, Creator wise, that peopled highest heav'n With Spirits masculine, create at last This novelty on earth, this fair defect Of nature, and not fill the world at once With men as angels without feminine, Or find some other way to generate Mankind?
John Milton
Image
How oft, in nations gone corrupt, And by their own devices brought down to servitude, That man chooses bondage before liberty. Bondage with ease before strenuous liberty.
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.
John Milton
Image
The superior man acquaints himself with many sayings of antiquity and many deeds of the past, in order to strengthen his character thereby.
John Milton
Image
And storied windows richly dight, Casting a dim religious light.
John Milton
Image
Who can enjoy alone? Or all enjoying what contentment find?
John Milton
Image
Sweet is the breath of morn, her rising sweet, With charm of earliest birds.
John Milton
Image
Dim eclipse, disastrous twilight.
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
And join with thee calm Peace and Quiet, Spare Fast, that oft with gods doth diet.
John Milton
Image
They who have put out the people's eyes reproach them of their blindness.
John Milton
