More quotes by John Milton
But infinite in pardon is my Judge.
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
Evil into the mind of god or man may come and go, so unapproved, and leave no spot or blame behind.
John Milton
Th'invention all admir'd, and each, how he to be th'inventor miss'd so easy it seem'd once found, which yet unfound most would have thought impossible.
John Milton
Sole reigning holds the tyranny of Heav'n.
John Milton
Thoughts that voluntary move Harmonious numbers.
John Milton

John Milton
I call a complete and generous education that which fits a man to perform justly, skillfully, and magnanimously all the offices, both private and public, of peace and war.
John Milton
Thrones, dominions, princedoms, virtues, powers-- If these magnific titles yet remain Not merely titular.
John Milton
Angels contented with their face in heaven, Seek not the praise of men.
John Milton
Where peace And rest can never dwell, hope never comes, That comes to all.
John Milton
Those whom reason hath equalled, force hath made supreme
John Milton
Wherefore did Nature pour her bounties forth With such a full and unwithdrawing hand, Covering the earth with odours, fruits, flocks, Thronging the seas with spawn innumerable, But all to please and sate the curious taste?
John Milton
A good book is the precious lifeblood of a master spirit.
John Milton
I on the other side Us'd no ambition to commend my deeds The deeds themselves, though mute, spoke loud the doer.
John Milton
Come and trip it as ye go On the light fantastic toe.
John Milton
Suffering for truth's sake Is fortitude to highest victory, And to the faithful death the gate of life.
John Milton
No man who knows aught, can be so stupid to deny that all men naturally were born free.
John Milton
The sun to me is dark And silent as the moon, When she deserts the night Hid in her vacant interlunar cave.
John Milton
Truth is as impossible to be soiled by any outward touch as the sunbeam.
John Milton
