John Milton
Image
Seas wept from our deep sorrows.
John Milton
Image
That space the Evil One abstracted stood From his own evil, and for the time remained Stupidly good, of enmity disarmed, Of guile, of hate, of envy, of revenge .
John Milton
Image
The debt immense of endless gratitude, So burthensome, still paying, still to owe Forgetful what from him I still receivd, And understood not that a grateful mind By owing owes not, but still pays, at once Indebted and dischargd what burden then?
John Milton
Image
For books are as meats and viands are some of good, some of evil sub-stance.
John Milton
Image
By this time, like one who had set out on his way by night, and travelled through a region of smooth or idle dreams, our history now arrives on the confines, where daylight and truth meet us with a clear dawn, representing to our view, though at a far distance, true colours and shapes.
John Milton
Image
Time, though in Eternity, applied To motion, measures all things durable By present, past, and future.
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
Part of my soul I seek thee, and claim thee my other half
John Milton
Image
Thoughts that voluntary move Harmonious numbers.
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
The strongest and the fiercest spirit That fought in heaven, now fiercer by despair.
John Milton
Image
Here the great art lies, to discern in what the law is to be to restraint and punishment, and in what things persuasion only is to work.
John Milton
Image
He who reigns within himself and rules passions, desires, and fears is more than a king.
John Milton
Image
Let none henceforth seek needless cause to approve The faith they owe when earnestly they seek Such proof, conclude, they then begin to fail.
John Milton
Image
Suffering for truth's sake Is fortitude to highest victory, And to the faithful death the gate of life.
John Milton
Image
Evil, be thou my good.
John Milton
Image
Yet much remains To conquer still peace hath her victories No less renowned then war, new foes arise Threatening to bind our souls with secular chains: Help us to save free conscience from the paw Of hireling wolves whose gospel is their maw.
John Milton
Image
Prudence is the virtue by which we discern what is proper to do under various circumstances in time and place.
John Milton
Image
Thy actions to thy words accord thy words To thy large heart give utterance due thy heart Contains of good, wise, just, the perfect shape.
John Milton
