More quotes by John Milton
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

John Milton
And what is faith, love, virtue unassayed Alone, without exterior help sustained?
John Milton
Nothing lovelier can be found In woman, than to study household good, And good works in her husband to promote.
John Milton
. . . for beauty stands In the admiration only of weak minds Led captive. Cease to admire, and all her plumes Fall flat and shrink into a trivial toy, At every sudden slighting quite abash'd.
John Milton
What reinforcement we may gain from hope If not, what resolution from despair.
John Milton
Danger will wink on opportunity.
John Milton
From restless thoughts, that, like a deadly swarm Of hornets arm'd, no sooner found alone, But rush upon me thronging.
John Milton
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
Imparadis'd in one another's arms.
