Famous quotes containing the words john and/or milton:

    I learned early in life that you get places by having the right enemies.
    —Bishop John Spong (b. 1931)

    So having said, a while he stood, expecting
    Their universal shout and high applause
    To fill his ear; when contrary, he hears,
    On all sides, from innumerable tongues
    A dismal universal hiss, the sound
    Of public scorn.
    —John Milton (1608–1674)
