Image
And to thy husband's will Thine shall submit he over thee shall rule.
John Milton
Image
Truth and understanding are not such wares as to be monopolized and traded in by tickets and statutes and standards. We must not think to make a staple commodity of all the knowledge in the land, to mark and license it like our broadcloth and our woolpacks.
John Milton
Image
Impostor do not charge most innocent Nature, As if she would her children should be riotous With her abundance she, good cateress, Means her provision only to the good, That live according to her sober laws, And holy dictate of spare temperance.
John Milton
Image
There are no songs comparable to the songs of Zion, no orations equal to those of the prophets, and no politics like those which the Scriptures teach.
John Milton
Image
To live a life half dead, a living death.
John Milton
Image
His rod revers'd, And backward mutters of dissevering power.
John Milton
Image
Zeal and duty are not slow But on occasion's forelock watchful wait.
John Milton
Image
The childhood shows the man As morning shows the day. Be famous then By wisdom as thy empire must extend, So let extend thy mind o'er all the world.
John Milton
Image
The great creator from his work returned Magnificent, his six days' work, a world.
John Milton
Image
The gay motes that people the sunbeams.
John Milton
Image
When language in common use in any country becomes irregular and depraved, it is followed by their ruin and degradation. For what do terms used without skill or meaning, which are at once corrupt and misapplied, denote but a people listless, supine, and ripe for servitude?
John Milton
Image
What is strength without a double share of wisdom?
John Milton
Image
The virtuous mind that ever walks attended By a strong siding champion, Conscience.
John Milton
Image
Heaven Is as the Book of God before thee set, Wherein to read His wondrous works.
John Milton
Image
So on this windy sea of land, the Fiend Walked up and down alone bent on his prey.
John Milton
Image
And may at last my weary age Find out the peaceful hermitage, The hairy gown and mossy cell, Where I may sit and rightly spell Of every star that heaven doth shew, And every herb that sips the dew, Till old experience to attain To something like prophetic strain.
John Milton
Image
As in an organ from one blast of wind To many a row of pipes the soundboard breathes.
John Milton
Image
Sometime let gorgeous Tragedy In sceptred pall come sweeping by, Presenting Thebes, or Pelops' line, Or the tale of Troy divine.
John Milton
Image
For neither man nor angel can discern hypocrisy, the only evil that walks invisible, except to God alone.
John Milton
Image
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
