More quotes by John Milton

Image
These eyes, tho' clear To outward view of blemish or of spot, Bereft of light, their seeing have forgot, Nor to their idle orbs doth sight appear Of sun, or moon, or star, throughout the year, Or man, or woman. Yet I argue not Against Heaven's hand or will, not bate a jot Of heart or hope but still bear up and steer Right onward.
John Milton
Image
Nor jealousy Was understood, the injur'd lover's hell.

Hail, wedded love, mysterious law true source of human happiness.
John Milton
Image
And that must end us, that must be our cure: To be no more. Sad cure! For who would lose, Though full of pain, this intellectual being, Those thoughts that wander through eternity, To perish, rather, swallowed up and lost In the wide womb of uncreated night Devoid of sense and motion?
John Milton
Image
Subdue By force, who reason for their law refuse, Right reason for their law.
John Milton
Image
Mutual love, the crown of all our bliss.
John Milton
Image
And so sepúlchred in such pomp dost lie, That kings for such a tomb would wish to die.
John Milton

And to the faithful: death, the gate of life.
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
Nor from hell One step no more than from himself can fly By change of place.
John Milton
Image
Wisdom's self oft seeks to sweet retired solitude, where with her best nurse Contemplation, she plumes her feathers, and lets grow her wings that in the various bustle of resort were all to-ruffled, and sometimes impaired.
John Milton
