Only the Greatest and the Best Quotes from John Milton



Quote : "LETHE the River of Oblivion roules
Her watrie Labyrinth' whereof who drinks'
Forthwith his former state and being forgets'
Forgets both joy and grief' pleasure and pain."

Quote : "And wish and struggle' as they pass' to reach
The tempting stream' with one small drop to loose
In sweet forgetfulness all pain and woe'
All in one moment' and so neer the brink;
But fate withstands' and to oppose th' attempt"

Quote : "By som false guile pervert; and shall pervert;
For man will heark'n to his glozing lyes'
And easily transgress the sole Command"

Quote : "So will fall
Hee and his faithless Progenie: whose fault?
Whose but his own? ingrate' he had of mee
All he could have; I made him just and right'
Sufficient to have stood' though free to fall."

Quote : "Such I created all th' Ethereal Powers
And Spirits' both them who stood & them who faild;
Freely they stood who stood' and fell who fell."

Quote : "Nor can justly accuse
Thir maker' or thir making' or thir Fate"

Quote : "As if Predestination over-rul'd
Thir will' dispos'd by absolute Decree
Or high foreknowledge; they themselves decreed
Thir own revolt' not I: if I foreknew'
Foreknowledge had no influence on their fault"
