John Milton Thayer

Famous quotes containing the words john milton, john, milton and/or thayer:

    So farewell hope, and with hope, farewell fear,
    Farewell remorse! All good to me is lost;
    Evil, be thou my Good: by thee at least
    Divided empire with Heaven’s King I hold,
    By thee, and more than half perhaps will reign;
    As Man ere long, and this new World, shall know.”
    John Milton (1608–1674)

    The very fact that there are experts may be intimidating; we hate to think that there must be one best way to handle any situation as parents and that we don’t know what it is. So as we get more and more advice we seem less and less sure of what we ought to do for our children.
    —C. John Sommerville (20th century)

    So spake our Father penitent; nor Eve
    Felt less remorse. They, forthwith to the place
    Repairing where he judged them, prostrate fell
    Before him reverent, and both confessed
    Humbly their faults, and pardon begged, with tears
    Watering the ground, and with their sighs the air
    Frequenting, sent from hearts contrite, in sign
    Of sorrow unfeigned and humiliation meek.
    —John Milton (1608–1674)

    With a smile of Christian charity great Casey’s visage shone;
    He stilled the rising tumult, he made the game go on;
    —Ernest Lawrence Thayer (1863–1940)
