More From John Donne

I have seen war. i have seen war on land and sea. i have seen blood running from the wounded. i have seen men coughing out their gassed lungs. i have seen the dead in the mud. i have seen cities destroyed. i have seen 200 limping, exhausted men come out of line—the survivors of a regiment of 1,000 that went forward 48 hours before. i have seen children starving. i have seen the agony of mothers and wives. i hate war.

What is sin? it is the glory of god not honored. the holiness of god not reverenced. the greatness of god not admired. the power of god not praised. the truth of god not sought. the wisdom of god not esteemed. the beauty of god not treasured. the goodness of god not savored. the faithfulness of god not trusted. the commandments of god not obeyed. the justice of god not respected. the wrath of god not feared. the grace of god not cherished. the presence of god not prized. the person of god not loved. that is sin.
Greatness Wrath Justice Of God
Those may justly be reckoned void of understanding that do not bless and praise god; nor do men ever rightly use their reason till they begin to be religious, nor live as men till they live to the glory of god. as reason is the substratum or subject of religion (so that creatures which have no reason are not capable of religion), so religion is the crown and glory of reason, and we have our reason in vain, and shall one day wish we had never had it, if we do not glorify god with it.
Religious Men Understanding
People see me, and they see the suit, and they go: "you're not fooling anyone", they know i'm rock and roll through and through. but you know that old thing, live fast, die young? not my way. live fast, sure, live too bloody fast sometimes, but die young? die old. that's the way- not orthodox, i don't live by "the rules" you know.
Rocks Old Things Rock And Roll
You can't appreciate home till you've left it, money till it's spent, your wife till she's joined a woman's club, nor old glory till you see it hanging on a broomstick on the shanty of a consul in a foreign town.

One man sees a riselka: his life forks there.  two men see a riselka: one of them shall die.  three men see a riselka: one is blessed, one forks, one shall die. one woman sees a riselka: her path comes clear to her.  two women see a riselka: one of them shall bear a child.  three women see a riselka: one is blessed, one is clear, one shall bear a child.

Similar Quotes
You were loved because god loves, period. god loved you, and everyone, not because you believed in certain things, but because you were a mess, and lonely, and his or her child. god loved you no matter how crazy you felt on the inside, no matter what a fake you were; always, even in your current condition, even before coffee. god loves you crazily, like i love you...like a slightly overweight auntie, who sees only your marvelousness and need.

That thing, 'you must stay together for the kids,' is out of fashion but is right. it's not arguing parents that children don't like, it is having one parent.

Of all my father's teachings, the most enduring was the one about the true measure of a man. that true measure was how well he provided for his children, and it stuck with me as if it were etched in my brain.
