John Milton on Wisdom
← Back to John Milton Profile
“What in me is dark, Illumine, what is low, raise and support.”
“Socrates * * * Whom, well inspir'd, the oracle pronounc'd Wisest of men.”
“But to know That which before us lies in daily life, Is the prime wisdom.”
“Though wisdom wake, suspicion sleeps At wisdom's gate, and to simplicity Resigns her charge, while goodness thinks no ill Where no ill seems.”
