And oft, though wisdom wake, suspicion sleeps At wisdom's gate, and to simplicity Resigns her charge, while goodness thinks no ill Where no ill seems.
More Quotes from John Milton:
Sonorous metal blowing martial sounds At which the universal host up sent A shout that tore hell's concave, and beyond Frighted the reign of Chaos and old Night.John Milton
And out of good still to find means of evil.
John Milton
Give me the liberty to know, to utter, and to argue freely according to conscience, above all liberties.
John Milton
Confusion heard his voice, and wild uproar Stood ruled, stood vast infinitude confined; Till at his second bidding darkness fled, Light shone, and order from disorder sprung.
John Milton
He that can apprehend and consider vice with all her baits and seeming pleasures, and yet abstain, and yet distinguish, and yet prefer that which is truly better, he is the true wayfaring Christian. 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. Assuredly we bring not innocence into the world, we bring impurity much rather that which purifies us is trial, and trial is by what is contrary.
John Milton
When I consider how my light is spent, Ere half my days, in this dark world and wide, And that one talent which is death to hide Lodged with me useless, though my soul more bent To serve therewith my Maker, and present My true account, lest He returning chide, 'Doth God exact day-labour, light denied' I fondly ask But patience, to prevent That murmur, soon replies 'God doth not need Either man's work or his own gifts. Who best Bear His mild yoke, they serve Him best. His state Is kingly thousands at His bidding speed And post o'er land and ocean without rest They also serve who only stand and wait.'
John Milton
