John Milton
Image
What is strength without a double share of wisdom?

Image
Necessity and chance Approach not me, and what I will is fate.

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
And that must end us, that must be our cure: To be no more. Sad cure! For who would lose, Though full of pain, this intellectual being, Those thoughts that wander through eternity, To perish, rather, swallowed up and lost In the wide womb of uncreated night Devoid of sense and motion?
John Milton
Image
Of calling shapes, and beck'ning shadows dire, And airy tongues that syllable men's names.
John Milton
Image
Thoughts that voluntary move Harmonious numbers.
John Milton
Image
Live while ye may, Yet happy pair.
John Milton
Image
This is the month, and this the happy morn, wherein the Son of heaven's eternal King, of wedded Maid and Virgin Mother born, our great redemption from above did bring.
John Milton
Image
I call a complete and generous education that which fits a man to perform justly, skillfully, and magnanimously all the offices, both private and public, of peace and war.
John Milton
Image
Peace hath her victories, no less renowned than War.
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
