John Milton

So farewell hope, and with hope farewell fear,Farewell remorse: all good to me is lostEvil,be thou my good.
John Milton

Sometime let gorgeous Tragedy In sceptred pall come sweeping by, Presenting Thebes, or Pelops' line, Or the tale of Troy divine.
John Milton
Image
What is strength without a double share of wisdom?
John Milton
Image
They who have put out the people's eyes reproach them of their blindness.
John Milton
Image
Zeal and duty are not slow But on occasion's forelock watchful wait.
John Milton
Image
Now came still evening on and twilight gray Had in her sober livery all things clad: Silence accompanied for beast and bird, They to they grassy couch, these to their nests, Were slunk, all but the wakeful nightingale.
John Milton
Image
Angels contented with their face in heaven, Seek not the praise of men.
John Milton
Image
Servant of God, well done! well hast thou fought The better fight, who single hast maintain'd Against revolted multitudes the cause of truth.
John Milton
Image
Did I request thee, Maker, from my clay To mould me man? Did I solicit thee From darkness to promote me?
John Milton
Image
The teachers of our law, and to propose What might improve my knowledge or their own.
