Famous quotes containing the words john and/or milton:

““You the one, I the few”
said John Adams
speaking of fears in the abstract
to his volatile friend Mr. Jefferson,”
—Ezra Pound (1885–1972)

“Towards him they bend
With awful reverence prone; and as a God
Extoll him equal to the highest in Heav’n:
Nor fail’d they to express how much they prais’d,
That for the general safety he despis’d
His own: for neither do the Spirits damn’d
Loose all thir vertue; lest bad men should boast
Thir specious deeds on earth, which glory excites,
Or close ambition varnisht o’er with zeal.”
—John Milton (1608–1674)
