God affords no man the comfort, the false comfort of Atheism: He will not allow a pretending Atheist the power to flatter himself, so far, as to seriously think there is no God.

John Donne

More than kisses, letters mingle souls.
JOHN DONNE

As he that fears God fears nothing else, so he that sees God sees everything else.
JOHN DONNE

Ask not for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.
JOHN DONNE

Batter my heart, three-personed God, for you As yet but knock; breathe, shine, and seek to mend; That I may rise, and stand, o’erthrow me, and bend Your force to break, blow, burn, and make me new.
JOHN DONNE

Then love is sin, and let me sinful be.
JOHN DONNE
