More quotes by John Milton
Farewell Hope, and with Hope farewell Fear
John Milton
Those graceful acts, those thousand decencies, that daily flow from all her words and actions, mixed with love and sweet compliance, which declare unfeigned union of mind, or in us both one soul.
John Milton
Ev'n them who kept thy truth so pure of old, When all our fathers worshipp'd stocks and stones.
John Milton
Nor from hell One step no more than from himself can fly By change of place.
John Milton
Part of my soul I seek thee, and claim thee my other half
John Milton
Mutual love, the crown of all our bliss.
John Milton
Fairy elves, Whose midnight revels by a forest side Or fountain some belated peasant sees, Or dreams he sees, while overhead the moon Sits arbitress.
John Milton
Tis chastity, my brother, chastity She that has that is clad in complete steel, And, like a quiver'd nymph with arrows keen, May trace huge forests, and unharbour'd heaths, Infamous hills, and sandy perilous wilds Where, through the sacred rays of chastity, No savage fierce, bandite, or mountaineer, Will dare to soil her virgin purity.
John Milton
Prudence is the virtue by which we discern what is proper to do under various circumstances in time and place.
John Milton
Sufficient to have stood, though free to fall.
John Milton
Thus I set my printless feet O'er the cowslip's velvet head, That bends not as I tread.
John Milton
I on the other side Us'd no ambition to commend my deeds The deeds themselves, though mute, spoke loud the doer.
John Milton
For truth is strong next to the Almighty. She needs no policies or stratagems or licensings to make her victorious. These are the shifts and the defences that error uses against her power.
John Milton
There is no truth sure enough to justify persecution.
John Milton
God, who oft descends to visit men Unseen, and through their habitations walks To mark their doings.
John Milton
How often from the steep Of echoing hill or thicket have we heard Celestial voices to the midnight air, Sole, or responsive each to other's note, Singing their great Creator?
John Milton
Spirits when they please Can either sex assume, or both.
John Milton
But that from us aught should ascend to Heav'n So prevalent as to concern the mind Of God, high-bless'd, or to incline His will, Hard to belief may seem yet this will prayer.
John Milton
Hail, holy light! offspring of heaven firstborn! Or of th' eternal co-eternal beam, May I express thee unblam'd? since God is light And never but in unapproached light Dwelt from eternity, dwelt then in thee, Bright effluence of bright essence increate!
John Milton
Hail holy light, offspring of heav'n firstborn!
John Milton
