More quotes by John Milton
I sung of Chaos and Eternal Night, Taught by the heav'nly Muse to venture down The dark descent, and up to reascend.
John Milton
A thousand fantasies Begin to throng into my memory, Of calling shapes, and beckoning shadows dire, And airy tongues that syllable men's names On sands and shores and desert wildernesses
John Milton
And so sepúlchred in such pomp dost lie, That kings for such a tomb would wish to die.
John Milton
Thrones, dominions, princedoms, virtues, powers-- If these magnific titles yet remain Not merely titular.
John Milton
When language in common use in any country becomes irregular and depraved, it is followed by their ruin and degradation. For what do terms used without skill or meaning, which are at once corrupt and misapplied, denote but a people listless, supine, and ripe for servitude?
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
Necessity and chance Approach not me, and what I will is fate.
John Milton
Zeal and duty are not slow But on occasion's forelock watchful wait.
John Milton
Be lowly wise: Think only what concerns thee and thy being.
John Milton
No mighty trance, or breathed spell Inspires the pale-eyed priest from the prophetic cell.
John Milton
Thy actions to thy words accord thy words To thy large heart give utterance due thy heart Contains of good, wise, just, the perfect shape.
John Milton
A poet soaring in the high reason of his fancies, with his garland and singing robes about him.
John Milton
No man who knows aught, can be so stupid to deny that all men naturally were born free.
John Milton
A shout that tore hell's concave, and beyond / Frightened the reign of Chaos and old Night.
John Milton
Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely: and pined his loss
John Milton
So farewell hope, and with hope farewell fear,Farewell remorse: all good to me is lostEvil,be thou my good.
John Milton
In argument with men a woman ever Goes by the worse, whatever be her cause.
John Milton
Love-quarrels oft in pleasing concord end.
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
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
