The very essence of truth is ...

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

Him that yon soars on golden ...

Him that yon soars on golden wing, guiding the fiery-wheel?d throne, the Cherub Contemplation.

John Milton 1062 quotes

He alone is worthy of the app...

He alone is worthy of the appellation who either does great things, or teaches how they may be done, or describes them with a suitable majesty when they have been done; but those only are great things which tend to render life more happy, which increase the innocent enjoyments and comforts of existence, or which pave the way to a state of future bliss more permanent and more pure.

John Milton 1062 quotes

O welcome pure-eyed Faith, wh...

O welcome pure-eyed Faith, white handed Hope, Thou hovering angel girt with golden wings.

What needs my Shakespeare for...

What needs my Shakespeare for his honour'd bones,- The labour of an age in piled stones? Or that his hallow'd relics should be hid Under a star-y-pointing pyramid? Dear son of memory, great heir of fame, What need'st thou such weak witness of thy name?

John Milton 1062 quotes

For God will deign to visit oft the dwellings of just men -- delighted, and with frequent intercourse -- thither will send his winged messengers on errants of supernal grace.

John Milton 1062 quotes

Knowledge cannot defile, nor ...

Knowledge cannot defile, nor consequently the books, if the will and conscience be not defiled.

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

Hear all ye angels, progeny o...

Hear all ye angels, progeny of light, Thrones, dominations, princedoms, virtues, powers.

John Milton 1062 quotes

By labor and intent study (wh...

By labor and intent study (which I take to be my portion in this life), joined with the strong propensity of nature, I might perhaps leave something so written to after-times, as they should not willingly let it die.

John Milton 1062 quotes

Virtue may be assailed, but n...

Virtue may be assailed, but never hurt, Surprised by unjust force, but not inthralled; Yea, even that which mischief meant most harm Shall in the happy trial prove most glory.

John Milton 1062 quotes

Such as the meeting soul may ...

Such as the meeting soul may pierce, In notes with many a winding bout Of linked sweetness long drawn out.

John Milton 1062 quotes

Swinish gluttony never looks ...

Swinish gluttony never looks to heaven amidst its gorgeous feast; but with besotted, base ingratitude, cravens and blasphemes his feeder.

John Milton 1062 quotes

Still paying, still to owe. E...

Still paying, still to owe. Eternal woe!

John Milton 1062 quotes

Hail, holy light! offspring o...

Hail, holy light! offspring of heaven firstborn! Or of th' eternal co-eternal beam, May I express thee unblam'd? since God is light And never but in unapproached light Dwelt from eternity, dwelt then in thee, Bright effluence of bright essence increate!

John Milton 1062 quotes

O loss of sight, of thee I mo...

O loss of sight, of thee I most complain! Blind among enemies, O worse than chains, dungeon or beggary, or decrepit age! Light, the prime work of God, to me is extinct, and all her various objects of delight annulled, which might in part my grief have eased. Inferior to the vilest now become of man or worm; the vilest here excel me, they creep, yet see; I, dark in light, exposed to daily fraud, contempt, abuse and wrong, within doors, or without, still as a fool, in power of others, never in my own; scarce half I seem to live, dead more than half.

John Milton 1062 quotes

These two imparadised in one ...

These two imparadised in one another's arms, the happier Eden, shall enjoy their fill of bliss on bliss.

John Milton 1062 quotes

Antichrist is Mammon's son. ...

Antichrist is Mammon's son.

John Milton 1062 quotes

The Angel ended, and in Adam'...

The Angel ended, and in Adam's ear So charming left his voice, that he awhile Thought him still speaking, still stood fix'd to hear.

No institution which does not continually test its ideals, techniques and measure of accomplishment can claim real vitality.
