More from John Milton
"For liberty hath a sharp and double edge, fit only to be handled by just and virtuous men; to bad and dissolute, it becomes a mischief unwieldy in their own hands."
"For what is liberty without wisdom, and without virtue? It is the greatest of all evils; for it is folly, vice, and madness, without tuition or restraint."
"Darkness visible."
"Methinks I see in my mind a noble and puissant Nation rousing herself like a strong man after sleep, and shaking her invincible locks."
"His rod revers'd, And backward mutters of dissevering power."
