More Quotes from John Donne:
And what is so intricate, so entangling as death Who ever got out of a winding sheet.John Donne
More than kisses, letters mingle souls.
John Donne
To me, to whom God hath revealed his Son, in a Gospel, by a Church, there can be no way of salvation, but by applying that Son of God, by that Gospel, in that Church. Nor is there any other foundation for any, nor other name by which any can be saved, but the name of Jesus. But how this foundation is presented, and how this name of Jesus is notified unto them, amongst whom there is no Gospel preached, no Church established, I am not curious in inquiring. I know that God can be as merciful as those tender Fathers present him to be and I would be as charitable as they are. And therefore, humbly embracing that manifestation of his Son, which he hath afforded me, I leave God, to his unsearchable ways of working upon others, without further inquisition.
John Donne
But I do nothing upon myself, and yet I am my own executioner.
John Donne
When I must shipwrack, I would do it in a sea, where mine impotencie might have some excuse not in a sullen weedy lake, where I could not have so much as exercise for my swimming.
John Donne
I throw myself down in my chamber, and I call in, and invite God, and his Angels thither, and when they are there, I neglect God and his Angels, for the noise of a fly, for the rattling of a coach, for the whining of a door.
