Milton

Famous quotes containing the word milton:

“Just are the ways of God,
And justifiable to men;
Unless there be who think not God at all.”

“Thus Belial, with words clothed in reason’s garb,
Counseled ignoble ease, and peaceful sloth,
Not peace.”

“Others apart sat on a Hill retir’d,
In thoughts more elevate, and reason’d high
Of Providence, Foreknowledge, Will, and Fate,
Fixt Fate, free will, foreknowledge absolute,
And found no end, in wandring mazes lost.
Of good and evil much they argu’d then,
Of happiness and final misery,
Passion and Apathie, and glory and shame,
Vain wisdom all, and false Philosophie:”
—John Milton (1608–1674)
