Famous quotes containing the words lord and/or milton:

    “When the LORD your God brings you into the land that you are about to enter and occupy...and you defeat them, then you must utterly destroy them. Make no covenant with them and show them no mercy. Do not intermarry with them, giving your daughters to their sons or taking their daughters for your sons, for that would turn away your children from following me, to serve other gods.”
    —Bible: Hebrew, Deuteronomy 7:1-4.

    “Come, and trip it as ye go
    On the light fantastic toe,
    And in thy right hand lead with thee,
    The mountain nymph, sweet Liberty;”
    —John Milton (1608–1674)
