Quote

Nothing is here for tears, nothing to wail Or knock the breast, no weakness, no contempt, Dispraise, or blame,-nothing but well and fair, And what may quiet us in a death so noble.

More quotes by John Milton

Image
When we speak of knowing God, it must be understood with reference to man's limited powers of comprehension. God, as He really is, is far beyond man's imagination, let alone understanding. God has revealed only so much of Himself as our minds can conceive and the weakness of our nature can bear.
John Milton
Image
For to interpose a little ease, Let our frail thoughts dally with false surmise.
John Milton
Image
Never can true reconcilement grow where wounds of deadly hate have pierced so deep.
John Milton
Image
And these gems of Heav'n, her starry train.
John Milton
Image
Let us no more contend, nor blame each other, blamed enough elsewhere, but strive, In offices of love, how we may lighten each other's burden.
John Milton
Image
... then there was war in heaven. But it was not angels. It was that small golden zeppelin, like a long oval world, high up. It seemed as if the cosmic order were gone, as if there had come a new order, a new heavens above us: and as if the world in anger were trying to revoke it.
John Milton
Image
With eyes Of conjugal attraction unreprov'd. Imparadised in one another's arms. With thee conversing I forget all time. And feel that I am happier than I know.
John Milton
Image
Few sometimes may know, when thousands err.
John Milton
Image
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
Image
And what is faith, love, virtue unassayed Alone, without exterior help sustained?
John Milton
Image
Midnight brought on the dusky hour Friendliest to sleep and silence.
John Milton
Image
In discourse more sweet For eloquence the soul, song charms the sense. Others apart sat on a hill retir'd, In thoughts more elevate, and reason'd high Of providence, foreknowledge, will, and fate, Fix'd fate, free-will, foreknowledge absolute And found no end, in wand'ring mazes lost.
John Milton
Image
Hail, wedded love, mysterious law true source of human happiness.
John Milton
Image
Our state cannot be severed, we are one, One flesh to lose thee were to lose myself.
John Milton
Image
Thou canst not touch the freedom of my mind.
John Milton
Image
Imparadis'd in one another's arms.
John Milton
Image
It is not good that man should be alone. ... Hitherto all things that have been named, were approved of God to be very good: loneliness is the first thing which God's eye named not good: whether it be a thing, or the want of something, I labour not.
John Milton
Image
Moping melancholy And moon-struck madness.
John Milton
Image
Calm of mind, all passion spent.
John Milton
Image
It were a journey like the path to heaven, To help you find them.
