1608–1674 England

← All quotes by John Milton

5 quotes

Where peace
And rest can never dwell, hope never comes,
That comes to all.

What reinforcement we may gain from hope;
If not, what resolution from despair.

Hope elevates, and joy
Brightens his crest.

Inflamed with the study of learning and the admiration of virtue; stirred up with high hopes of living to be brave men and worthy patriots, dear to God, and famous to all ages.

Tractate of Education (1644)

So farewell hope, and with hope farewell fear,
Farewell remorse: all good to me is lost;
Evil, be thou my good.
