Prudence is the virtue by which we discern what is proper to do under various circumstances in time and place.
John Milton
Image
Avenge, O Lord, thy slaughtered saints, whose bones Lie scattered on the Alpine mountains cold Ev'n them who kept thy truth so pure of old When all our fathers worshipped stocks and stones Forget not.
John Milton
Image
He who reigns within himself and rules passions, desires, and fears is more than a king.
John Milton
Image
Some say no evil thing that walks by night, In fog or fire, by lake or moorish fen, Blue meagre hag, or stubborn unlaid ghost That breaks his magic chains at curfew time, No goblin, or swart fairy of the mine, Hath hurtful power o'er true virginity.
John Milton
Image
Subdue By force, who reason for their law refuse, Right reason for their law.

Courage never to submit of yield.
John Milton

John Milton
Image
... then there was war in heaven. But it was not angels. It was that small golden zeppelin, like a long oval world, high up. It seemed as if the cosmic order were gone, as if there had come a new order, a new heavens above us: and as if the world in anger were trying to revoke it.
John Milton
Image
The teachers of our law, and to propose What might improve my knowledge or their own.
John Milton
Image
But infinite in pardon is my Judge.
John Milton
Image
Where glowing embers through the room Teach light to counterfeit a gloom.
John Milton
Image
And now without redemption all mankind Must have been lost, adjudged to death and hell By doom severe.
John Milton
Image
Time, though in Eternity, applied To motion, measures all things durable By present, past, and future.
