The best Quotes from Paradise Lost

So farewell hope, and with hope farewell fear

Who overcomes
By force, hath overcome but half his foe.

Love is patient, love is kind.
It does not envy,
it does not boast,
it is not proud.
It does not dishonor others,

Love does not delight in evil
but rejoices with the truth.
It always protects,
always trusts,
always hopes, always perseveres.
