More quotes by John Milton
Prudence is the virtue by which we discern what is proper to do under various circumstances in time and place.
John Milton
Some say no evil thing that walks by night, In fog or fire, by lake or moorish fen, Blue meagre hag, or stubborn unlaid ghost That breaks his magic chains at curfew time, No goblin, or swart fairy of the mine, Hath hurtful power o'er true virginity.
John Milton
Let no man seek Henceforth to be foretold that shall befall Him or his children.
John Milton
What better can we do than prostrate fall before Him reverent, and there confess humbly our faults, and pardon beg with tears watering the ground?
John Milton
For books are as meats and viands are some of good, some of evil sub-stance.
John Milton
Reason is also choice.
John Milton
But God himself is truth in propagating which, as men display a greater integrity and zeal, they approach nearer to the similitude of God, and possess a greater portion of his love.
John Milton
O fairest of creation, last and best Of all God's works, creature in whom excelled Whatever can to sight or thought be formed, Holy, divine, good, amiable, or sweet! How art thou lost, how on a sudden lost, Defaced, deflow'red, and now to death devote? Paradise Lost
John Milton
If there be any difference among professed believers as to the sense of Scripture, it is their duty to tolerate such difference in each other, until God shall have revealed the truth to all.
John Milton
Spirits when they please Can either sex assume, or both.
John Milton
What neat repast shall feast us, light and choice, Of Attic taste?
John Milton
It was the winter wild, While the Heaven-born child, All meanly wrapt in the rude manger lies.
John Milton
Beauty is Nature's coin, must not be hoarded, But must be current, and the good thereof Consists in mutual and partaken bliss.
John Milton
Virtue that wavers is not virtue.
John Milton
Thrones, dominions, princedoms, virtues, powers-- If these magnific titles yet remain Not merely titular.
John Milton
With ruin upon ruin, rout on rout, Confusion worse confounded.
John Milton
If at great things thou would'st arrive, Get riches first, get wealth, and treasure heap, Not difficult, if thou hearken to me Riches are mine, fortune is in my hand, They whom I favor thrive in wealth amain, While virtue, valor, wisdom, sit in want.
John Milton
Heav'nly love shall outdoo Hellish hate
John Milton
Ah gentle pair, ye little think how nigh Your change approaches, when all these delights Will vanish and deliver ye to woe, More woe, the more your taste is now of joy.
John Milton
... 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
