Image
And yet on the other hand unless warinesse be us'd, as good almost kill a Man as kill a good Book who kills a Man kills a reasonable creature, Gods Image, but hee who destroyes a good Booke, kills reason it selfe, kills the Image of God, as it were in the eye.
John Milton
Image
Myself, and all the Angelic Host, that stand in the sight of God enthroned, our happy state hold, as you yours, while our obedience hold. On other surety none: freely we serve, because we freely love.
John Milton
Image
They are the troublers, they are the dividers of unity, who neglect and don't permit others to unite those dissevered pieces which are yet wanting to the body of Truth.
John Milton
Image
With ruin upon ruin, rout on rout, Confusion worse confounded.
John Milton
Image
As therefore the state of man now is, what wisdom can there be to choose, what continence to forbear, without the knowledge of good and evil?
John Milton

John Milton
Image
Let no man seek Henceforth to be foretold that shall befall Him or his children.
John Milton
Image
The starry cope Of heaven.
John Milton
Image
And join with thee calm Peace and Quiet, Spare Fast, that oft with gods doth diet.
John Milton
Image
Abash'd the Devil stood, And felt how awful goodness is.
John Milton
Image
But oh the heavy change, now thou art gone, Now thou art gone and never must return!
John Milton
Image
Hate is of all things the mightiest divider, nay, is division itself. To couple hatred, therefore, though wedlock try all her golden links, and borrow to tier aid all the iron manacles and fetters of law, it does but seek to twist a rope of sand.
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
The Angel ended, and in Adam's ear So charming left his voice, that he awhile Thought him still speaking, still stood fix'd to hear.
John Milton
Image
My latest found, Heaven's last, best gift, my ever new delight!
