Th' ethereal mould Incapable of stain would soon expel Her mischief, and purge off the baser fire, Victorious. Thus repuls'd, our final hope Is flat despair.

More quotes by John Milton
O why did God, Creator wise, that peopled highest heav'n With Spirits masculine, create at last This novelty on earth, this fair defect Of nature, and not fill the world at once With men as angels without feminine, Or find some other way to generate Mankind?
John Milton
A broad and ample road, whose dust is gold, And pavement stars,--as stars to thee appear Seen in the galaxy, that milky way Which nightly as a circling zone thou seest Powder'd with stars.
John Milton
Don't hold grudges it's pointless. Jealousy too is a non-cathartic, negative emotion. .
John Milton

John Milton
First Moloch, horrid king, besmirched in blood, Of Human sacrifice, and parent's tears, Though, for the noise of drums and timbrels loud, Their childrens' cries unheard, that passed through fire, To his grim idol.
John Milton
These eyes, tho' clear To outward view of blemish or of spot, Bereft of light, their seeing have forgot, Nor to their idle orbs doth sight appear Of sun, or moon, or star, throughout the year, Or man, or woman. Yet I argue not Against Heaven's hand or will, not bate a jot Of heart or hope but still bear up and steer Right onward.
John Milton
Hail, wedded love, mysterious law true source of human happiness.

John Milton

John Milton
Implied Subjection, but requir'd with gentle sway, And by her yielded, by him best receiv'd,- Yielded with coy submission, modest pride, And sweet, reluctant, amorous delay.
John Milton
And these gems of Heav'n, her starry train.
John Milton
There is no Christian duty that is not to be seasoned and set off with cheerishness, which in a thousand outward and intermitting crosses may yet be done well, as in this vale of tears.
John Milton
Our country is where ever we are well off.
John Milton
Beauty is God's handwriting-a wayside sacrament.
John Milton
Myself, and all the Angelic Host, that stand in the sight of God enthroned, our happy state hold, as you yours, while our obedience hold. On other surety none: freely we serve, because we freely love.
John Milton
Moping melancholy And moon-struck madness.
John Milton
Biochemically, love is just like eating large amounts of chocolate.
John Milton
With a smile that glow'd Celestial rosy red, love's proper hue.
John Milton
Fame is the last infirmity of the human mind.
John Milton
So farewell hope, and with hope farewell fear,Farewell remorse: all good to me is lostEvil,be thou my good.
John Milton
