~ John Donne Quotes ~

[MysteRy]

Death be not proud though some have called Thee Mighty and dreadful for thou art not so.

[MysteRy]

One short sleep past will wake eternally And death shall be no more; Death thou shalt die.

[MysteRy]

Keep us Lord so awake in the duties of our calling that we may sleep in thy peace and wake in thy glory.

[MysteRy]

Any man's death diminishes me because I am involved in mankind; and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.

[MysteRy]

The difference between the reason of man and the instinct of the beast is this that the beast does but know but the man knows that he knows.

[MysteRy]

All kings and all their favourites All glory of honours beauties wits The sun itself which makes time as they pass Is elder by a year now than it was When thou and I first one another saw. All other things to their destruction draw Only our love hath no decay; This no to-morrow hath nor yesterday; Running it never runs from us away But truly keeps his first last everlasting day.

[MysteRy]

No man is an Island intire of it self; every man is a peece of the Continent a part of the maine; if a Clod be washed away by the sea Europe is the lesse as well as if a Promontorie were as well as if a manor of thy friends or thine own were. Any man's death diminishes me because I am involved in Mankinde and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.
