Quote

Only add Deeds to thy knowledge answerable, add faith, Add virtue, patience, temperance, add love, By name to come call'd charity, the soul Of all the rest then wilt thou not be loath To leave this Paradise, but shall possess A Paradise within thee, happier far.

Anon out of the earth a fabric huge Rose, like an exhalation.
John Milton
Image
Necessity and chance Approach not me, and what I will is fate.
John Milton
Image
Let us go forth and resolutely dare with sweat of brow to toil our little day.
John Milton
Image
So on this windy sea of land, the Fiend Walked up and down alone bent on his prey.
John Milton
Image
When we speak of knowing God, it must be understood with reference to man's limited powers of comprehension. God, as He really is, is far beyond man's imagination, let alone understanding. God has revealed only so much of Himself as our minds can conceive and the weakness of our nature can bear.
John Milton
Image
Yet hold it more humane, more heav'nly, first, By winning words to conquer willing hearts, And make persuasion do the work of fear.
John Milton
Image
So may'st thou live, till like ripe fruit thou drop Into thy mother's lap.

For such kind of borrowing as this, if it be not bettered by the borrowers, among good authors is accounted Plagiarè.
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
Truth and understanding are not such wares as to be monopolized and traded in by tickets and statutes and standards. We must not think to make a staple commodity of all the knowledge in the land, to mark and license it like our broadcloth and our woolpacks.
John Milton
Image
United thoughts and counsels, equal hope And hazard in the glorious enterprise.
John Milton
Image
Impostor do not charge most innocent Nature, As if she would her children should be riotous With her abundance she, good cateress, Means her provision only to the good, That live according to her sober laws, And holy dictate of spare temperance.
John Milton
Image
Farewell Hope, and with Hope farewell Fear
John Milton

Man hath his daily work of body or mind Appointed.
John Milton
Image
Infinity is a dark illimitable ocean, without bound.
John Milton
Image
Boast not of what thou would'st have done, but do.
John Milton
Image
Thy liquid notes that close the eye of day.
John Milton
Image
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
Image
For neither man nor angel can discern hypocrisy, the only evil that walks invisible, except to God alone.
John Milton
Image
Hail, holy light! offspring of heaven firstborn! Or of th' eternal co-eternal beam, May I express thee unblam'd? since God is light And never but in unapproached light Dwelt from eternity, dwelt then in thee, Bright effluence of bright essence increate!
John Milton
