Image
Reason is also choice.
John Milton
Image
Sweet intercourse of looks and smiles for smiles from reason flow.
John Milton
Image
By this time, like one who had set out on his way by night, and travelled through a region of smooth or idle dreams, our history now arrives on the confines, where daylight and truth meet us with a clear dawn, representing to our view, though at a far distance, true colours and shapes.
John Milton
Image
For truth is strong next to the Almighty. She needs no policies or stratagems or licensings to make her victorious. These are the shifts and the defences that error uses against her power.
John Milton
Image
God shall be all in all.
John Milton
Image
Eloquence the soul, song charms the senses.
John Milton
Image
The wife, where danger or dishonour lurks, Safest and seemliest by her husband stays, Who guards her, or with her the worst endures.
John Milton
Image
But peaceful was the night Wherein the Prince of Light His reign of peace upon the earth began.
John Milton
Image
And if by prayer Incessant I could hope to change the will Of Him who all things can, I would not cease To weary Him with my assiduous cries.
John Milton
Image
For neither man nor angel can discern hypocrisy, the only evil that walks invisible, except to God alone.
John Milton
Image
Evil into the mind of god or man may come and go, so unapproved, and leave no spot or blame behind.
John Milton
Image
And join with thee calm Peace and Quiet, Spare Fast, that oft with gods doth diet.
John Milton
Image
Or sweetest Shakespeare, Fancy's child!
John Milton
Image
How oft, in nations gone corrupt, And by their own devices brought down to servitude, That man chooses bondage before liberty. Bondage with ease before strenuous liberty.
John Milton
Image
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
Image
The childhood shows the man As morning shows the day. Be famous then By wisdom as thy empire must extend, So let extend thy mind o'er all the world.
John Milton
Image
Mutual love, the crown of all our bliss.
John Milton
Image
Gratitude bestows reverence.....changing forever how we experience life and the world.
John Milton
Image
Who aspires must down as low As high he soar'd.
John Milton
Image
He who reigns within himself and rules passions, desires, and fears is more than a king.
John Milton
