More From John Milton

Why, all delights are vain, but that most vain which, with pain purchased, doth inherit pain: as, painfully to pore upon a book, to seek the light of truth, which truth the while doth falsely blind the eyesight of his look.
Pain Book Light
I do not admire a virtue like valour when it is pushed to excess, if i do not see at the same time the excess of the opposite virtue, as one does in epaminondas, who displayed extreme valour and extreme benevolence. for otherwise it is not an ascent, but a fall. we do not display our greatness by placing ourselves at one extremity, but rather by being at both at the same time, and filling up the whole of the space between them.
Fall Greatness Space
Fear of death makes us devoid both of valour and religion. for want of valour is want of religious faith.

This was mahatma gandhi’s idea, moving from ownership to relationship—seeing that land does not belong to us. we belong to the land. we are not the owners of the land. we are the friends of the land, like friends of the earth. the fundamental shift is in this consciousness that land does not belong to us, we belong to the land.

Land taxes is the thing. they got so high that there is no chance to make anything. not only land but all property tax. you see in the old days, why the only thing they knew how to tax was land, or a house. well, that condition went along for quite awhile, so even today the whole country tries to run its revenue on taxes on land. they never ask if the land makes anything. "it's land ain't it? well tax it then."

When heaven doth weep, doth not the earth o'erflow? if the winds rage, doth not the sea wax mad, threatening the welkin with his big-swoln face? and wilt thou have a reason for this coil? i am the sea; hark, how her sighs do blow! she is the weeping welkin, i the earth: then must my sea be moved with her sighs; then must my earth with her continual tears become a deluge, overflow'd and drown'd: for why my bowels cannot hide her woes, but like a drunkard must i vomit them. then give me leave, for losers will have leave to ease their stomachs with their bitter tongues.
