Milton Keynes Dons

Famous quotes containing the words milton and/or dons:

    “Alas! What boots it with uncessant care
    To tend the homely slighted shepherd’s trade,
    And strictly meditate the thankless Muse?
    Were it not better done as others use,
    To sport with Amaryllis in the shade,
    Hid in the tangles of Neaera’s hair?”
    —John Milton (1608–1674)

    “The dons of Oxford and Cambridge are too busy educating the young men to be able to teach them anything.”
    —Samuel Butler (1835–1902)
