To overcome in battle, and sub...

To overcome in battle, and subdue Nations, and bring home spoils with infinite Man-slaughter, shall be held the highest pitch Of human glory.

John Milton 1062 quotes

Darkness now rose, as daylight...

Darkness now rose, as daylight sunk, and brought in low'ring Night her shadowy offspring.

John Milton 1062 quotes

So glistered the dire Snake , ...

So glistered the dire Snake , and into fraud Led Eve, our credulous mother, to the Tree Of Prohibition, root of all our woe.

John Milton 1062 quotes

The hungry sheep look up, and ...

The hungry sheep look up, and are not fed, But, swoln with wind, and the rank mist they draw, Rot inwardly, and foul contagion spread: Besides what the grim wolf with privy paw Daily devours apace, and nothing said; But that two-handed engine at the door Stands ready to smite once, and smite no more.

John Milton 1062 quotes

O fairest flower! no sooner bl...

O fairest flower! no sooner blown but blasted, Soft silken primrose fading timelessly.

John Milton 1062 quotes

For to interpose a little ease...

For to interpose a little ease, Let our frail thoughts dally with false surmise.

John Milton 1062 quotes

On a sudden open fly With impe...

On a sudden open fly With impetuous recoil and jarring sound Th' infernal doors, and on their hinges grate Harsh thunder.

John Milton 1062 quotes

What honour that, But tedious ...

What honour that, But tedious waste of time, to sit and hear So many hollow compliments and lies.

John Milton 1062 quotes

Blind mouths! That scarce them...

Blind mouths! That scarce themselves know how to hold A sheep-hook.

John Milton 1062 quotes

Oft, on a plat of rising groun...

Oft, on a plat of rising ground, I hear the far-off curfew sound Over some wide-watered shore, Swinging low with sullen roar.

John Milton 1062 quotes

And pomp, and feast, and revel...

And pomp, and feast, and revelry, With mask, and antique pageantry, Such sights as youthful poets dream On summer eves by haunted stream. Then to the well-trod stage anon, If Jonson's learned sock be on, Or sweetest Shakespeare, Fancy's child, Warble his native wood-notes wild, And ever, against eating cares, Lap me in soft Lydian airs, Married to immortal verse Such as the meeting soul may pierce, In notes with many a winding bout Of linked sweetness long drawn out.

John Milton 1062 quotes

But when Lust By unchaste look...

But when Lust By unchaste looks, loose gestures, and foul talk, But most by lewd and lavish arts of sin, Lets in defilement to the inward parts, The soul grows clotted by contagion, Imbodies and imbrutes, till she quite lose The divine property of her first being.

John Milton 1062 quotes

Education of youth is not a bo...

Education of youth is not a bow for every man to shoot in that counts himself a teacher; but will require sinews almost equal to those which Homer gave to Ulysses.

John Milton 1062 quotes

Thrones, dominions, princedoms...

Thrones, dominions, princedoms, virtues, powers--
If these magnific titles yet remain
Not merely titular.

John Milton 1062 quotes

But God himself is truth; in p...

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 1062 quotes

The very essence of truth is p...

The very essence of truth is plainness and brightness; the darkness and crookedness is our own. The wisdom of God created understanding, fit and proportionable to truth, the object and end of it, as the eye to the thing visible. If our understanding have a film of ignorance over it, or be blear with gazing on other false glitterings, what is that to truth?

John Milton 1062 quotes

Thy actions to thy words accor...

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 1062 quotes

I hate when vice can bolt her ...

I hate when vice can bolt her arguments,
And virtue has no tongue to check her pride.

John Milton 1062 quotes

Virtue that wavers is not virt...

Virtue that wavers is not virtue, but vice revolted from itself, and after a while returning. The actions of just and pious men do not darken in their middle course.

John Milton 1062 quotes

Virtue, which breaks through o...

Virtue, which breaks through opposition and all temptation can remove, most shines, and most is acceptable above.
