Image
Arm the obdured breast with stubborn patience as with triple steel.
John Milton
Image
O visions ill foreseen! Better had I Liv'd ignorant of future, so had borne My part of evil only.
John Milton
Image
Sufficient to have stood, though free to fall.
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
Freely we serve, Because we freely love, as in our will To love or not in this we stand or fall.
John Milton
Image
For truth is strong next to the Almighty. She needs no policies or stratagems or licensings to make her victorious. These are the shifts and the defences that error uses against her power.
John Milton
Image
And now without redemption all mankind Must have been lost, adjudged to death and hell By doom severe.
John Milton
Image
Gratitude bestows reverence, allowing us to encounter everyday epiphanies.
John Milton
Image
Eloquence the soul, song charms the senses.
John Milton
Image
Thick as autumnal leaves that strow the brooks In Vallombrosa, where th' Etrurian shades High over-arch'd imbower.
John Milton
Image
What neat repast shall feast us, light and choice, Of Attic taste?
John Milton
Image
They are the troublers, they are the dividers of unity, who neglect and don't permit others to unite those dissevered pieces which are yet wanting to the body of Truth.
John Milton
Image
So hand in hand they passed, the loveliest pair that ever since in love's embraces met -- Adam, the goodliest man of men since born his sons the fairest of her daughters Eve.
John Milton
Image
Better to reign in hell than serve in heav'n.
John Milton
Image
Methinks I see in my mind a noble and puissant nation rousing herself like a strong man after sleep, and shaking her invincible locks methinks I see her as an eagle mewing her mighty youth, and kindling her undazzled eyes at the full midday beam.
John Milton
Image
Sole reigning holds the tyranny of Heav'n.
John Milton
Image
Day and night, Seed-time and harvest, heat and hoary frost Shall hold their course, till fire purge all things new.
John Milton
Image
Reason also is choice.
John Milton
Image
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
Image
My heart contains of good, wise, just, the perfect shape.
John Milton
