Image
Zeal and duty are not slow But on occasion's forelock watchful wait.
John Milton
Image
If this fail, The pillar'd firmament is rottenness, And earth's base built on stubble.
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
With ruin upon ruin, rout on rout, Confusion worse confounded.
John Milton

John Milton
Image
Spirits that live throughout, Vital in every part, not as frail man, In entrails, heart or head, liver or reins, Cannot but by annihilating die.

All is not lost, the unconquerable will, and study of revenge, immortal hate, and the courage never to submit or yield.
John Milton
Image
Nor jealousy Was understood, the injur'd lover's hell.
John Milton
Image
Fame is the last infirmity of the human mind.
John Milton
Image
If we think we regulate printing, thereby to rectify manners, we must regulate all regulations and pastimes, all that is delightful to man.
John Milton
Image
The helmed Cherubim, And sworded Seraphim, Are seen in glittering ranks with wings display'd.
John Milton
Image
Sweet intercourse of looks and smiles for smiles from reason flow.
John Milton
Image
Nothing lovelier can be found In woman, than to study household good, And good works in her husband to promote.
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
A boundless continent, Dark, waste, and wild, under the frown of night Starless expos'd.
John Milton
