Additional quotes by John Milton

It was that fatal and perfidious bark,
Built in th' eclipse, and rigged with curses dark,
That sunk so low that sacred head of thine.

Be strong, live happy and love, but first of all
Him whom to love is to obey, and keep
His great command!

I cannot praise a fugitive and cloistered virtue, unexercised and unbreathed, that never sallies out and sees her adversary, but slinks out of the race where that immortal garland is to be run for, not without dust and heat.

What reinforcement we may gain from hope, If not what resolution from despair. - John Milton
