Just are the ways of God, And justifiable to men Unless there be who think not God at all.
John Milton
Image
Hide me from day's garish eye, While the bee with honied thigh, That at her flowery work doth sing, And the waters murmuring With such consort as they keep, Entice the dewy-feathered sleep.

John Milton
Image
What is dark within me, illumine.
John Milton

Image
Luck is the residue of design.
John Milton
Image
Yet I argue not Against Heav'n's hand or will, nor bate a jot Of heart or hope but still bear up and steer Right onward.
John Milton
Image
Fate shall yield To fickle Chance, and Chaos judge the strife.
