More quotes by John Milton
Better to reign in hell than serve in heav'n.
John Milton
Infinity is a dark illimitable ocean, without bound.
John Milton
The sun to me is dark And silent as the moon, When she deserts the night Hid in her vacant interlunar cave.
John Milton
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
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
God shall be all in all.
John Milton
A limbo large and broad, since call'd The Paradise of Fools to few unknown.
John Milton
Never can true reconcilement grow where wounds of deadly hate have pierced so deep.
John Milton
I sung of Chaos and Eternal Night, Taught by the heav'nly Muse to venture down The dark descent, and up to reascend.
John Milton
A short retirement urges a sweet return.
John Milton
Yet hold it more humane, more heav'nly, first, By winning words to conquer willing hearts, And make persuasion do the work of fear.
John Milton
Eye me, blest Providence, and square my trial To my proportion'd strength.
John Milton
Arm the obdured breast with stubborn patience as with triple steel.
John Milton
Each tree Laden with fairest fruit, that hung to th' eye Tempting, stirr'd in me sudden appetite To pluck and eat.
John Milton
On a sudden open fly With impetuous recoil and jarring sound Th' infernal doors, and on their hinges grate Harsh thunder.
John Milton
And storied windows richly dight, Casting a dim religious light.
John Milton
Assuredly we bring not innocence not the world, we bring impurity much rather: that which purifies us is trial, and trial is by what is contrary.
John Milton
If all the world Should in a pet of temp'rance, feed on pulse, Drink the clear stream, and nothing wear but frieze, Th' All-giver would be unthank'd, would be unprais'd.
John Milton
Sweet bird that shunn'st the nose of folly, Most musical, most melancholy! Thee, chauntress, oft, the woods among, I woo, to hear thy even-song.
John Milton
What reinforcement we may gain from hope If not, what resolution from despair.
John Milton
