“Nothing dishonourable, impure, unworthy” — John Milton Quote

“Nothing dishonourable, impure, unworthy”

“Virtue could see to do what Virtue would by her own radiant light, though sun and moon where in the flat sea sunk.”

“No man who knows aught, can be so stupid to deny that all men naturally were born free.”

“Love-quarrels oft in pleasing concord end.”

“The happiness of a Nation consists in true Religion, Piety, Justice, Prudence, Temperance, Fortitude, and the contempt of Avarice and Ambition. They in whomsoever these virtues dwell eminently, need not Kings to make them happy, but are the architects of their own happiness; and whether to themselves or others are not less than Kings.”

“Only add”

“Faith is like a plant; it grows every day.”

“Trying to justify a world we don't hold all the answers to is what bedevils the best of us. Sometimes it's better just to accept that things are as we see them.”

“Prayer is the language of the poor in spirit. Since repetition is the law of learning, let me reiterate a phrase I often use in preaching on prayer:”

“The truth is, every time we face the urge to control, we are presented with a choice: Will we trust God or ourselves? This question is at the heart of our faith. If faith is believing in what we cannot see, control is the opposite. It is choosing to trust what we can see–namely, our own power, knowledge, and intentions.”

“Faith is accepting what makes no sense, what we cannot prove, but know down deep in our souls is real.”

“You closed your eyes. That was the difference. Sometimes you cannot believe what you see, you have to believe what you feel. And if you are ever going to have other people trust you, you must feel that you can trust them, too-even when you're in the dark. Even when you're falling.”
