To know that which lies before us in daily life is the prime wisdom.
John Milton
Image
Beauty is God's handwriting-a wayside sacrament.
John Milton
Image
A short retirement urges a sweet return.
John Milton
Image
He who tempts, though in vain, at last asperses The tempted with dishonor foul, supposed Not incorruptible of faith, not proof Against temptation.
John Milton
Image
Yet beauty, though injurious, hath strange power, After offence returning, to regain Love once possess'd.
John Milton
Image
This is servitude, To serve th'unwise, or him who hath rebelled Against his worthier, as thine now serve thee, Thyself not free, but to thyself enthralled.
John Milton
Image
Lethe, the river of oblivion, rolls his watery labyrinth, which whoso drinks forgets both joy and grief.
John Milton
Image
It is for homely features to keep home,- They had their name thence coarse complexions And cheeks of sorry grain will serve to ply The sampler and to tease the huswife's wool. What need a vermeil-tinctur'd lip for that, Love-darting eyes, or tresses like the morn?
John Milton
Image
With a smile that glow'd Celestial rosy red, love's proper hue.
John Milton
Image
Fate shall yield To fickle Chance, and Chaos judge the strife.
John Milton

If this fail, The pillar'd firmament is rottenness, And earth's base built on stubble.
John Milton
Image
Let none admire that riches grow in hell that soil may best deserve the precious bane.
John Milton
Image
The world was all before them, where to choose Their place of rest, and Providence their guide: They hand in hand, with wandering steps and slow, Through Eden took their solitary way.
John Milton
Image
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
Image
Our cure, to be no more sad cure!
John Milton
Image
It is Chastity, my brother. She that has that is clad in complete steel.
John Milton
Image
All is not lost, the unconquerable will, and study of revenge, immortal hate, and the courage never to submit or yield.
John Milton
Image
Socrates... Whom well inspir'd the oracle pronounc'd Wisest of men.
John Milton
Image
Angels contented with their face in heaven, Seek not the praise of men.
John Milton
Image
So may'st thou live, till like ripe fruit thou drop Into thy mother's lap, or be with ease Gathered, not harshly plucked, for death mature: This is old age but then thou must outlive Thy youth, thy strength, thy beauty, which will change To withered weak and grey.
John Milton
