More quotes by John Milton
Heav'nly love shall outdoo Hellish hate
John Milton
Oh, shame to men! devil with devil damn'd Firm concord holds, men only disagree Of creatures rational.
John Milton
Of calling shapes, and beck'ning shadows dire, And airy tongues that syllable men's names.
John Milton
Who can in reason then or right assume monarchy over such as live by right his equals, if in power or splendor less, in freedom equal?
John Milton
It is not virtue, wisdom, valour, wit, Strength, comeliness of shape, or amplest merit, That woman's love can win, or long inherit But what it is, hard is to say, Harder to hit.
John Milton
Evil, be thou my good.
John Milton
A short retirement urges a sweet return.
John Milton
O sun, to tell thee how I hate thy beams That bring to my remembrance from what state I fell, how glorious once above thy sphere.
John Milton
O madness to think use of strongest wines And strongest drinks our chief support of health, When God with these forbidden made choice to rear His mighty champion, strong above compare, Whose drink was only from the liquid brook.
John Milton
God sure esteems the growth and completing of one virtuous person, more that the restraint of ten vicious.
John Milton
In vain doth valour bleed, While Avarice and Rapine share the land.
John Milton
Look homeward, Angel, now, and melt with ruth.
John Milton
Death to life is crown or shame.
John Milton
Our two first parents, yet the only two Of mankind, in the happy garden placed, Reaping immortal fruits of joy and love, Uninterrupted joy, unrivalled love In blissful solitude.
John Milton
You can make hell out of heaven and heaven out of hell. It's all in the mind.
John Milton
Let us seek Death, or he not found, supply With our own hands his office on ourselves Why stand we longer shivering under fears, That show no end but death, and have the power, Of many ways to die the shortest choosing, Destruction with destruction to destroy.
John Milton
And join with thee calm Peace and Quiet, Spare Fast, that oft with gods doth diet.
John Milton
Angels contented with their face in heaven, Seek not the praise of men.
John Milton
And these gems of Heav'n, her starry train.
John Milton
Grace was in all her steps, heaven in her eye, in every gesture dignity and love.
John Milton
