Milton/people

Famous quotes containing the words milton and/or people:

“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)

“The issue is a mighty one for all people and all time; and whoever aids the right, will be appreciated and remembered.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
