Oh language ..                        

So far, we have had some idea of John Milton’s quotes. I have been trying to provide some idea of what a ‘quote’ suggests. If viewers have their perceptions about these ‘quotes’, they too could be valid as much.

We may have to look for other works which can help our comprehension better.

Luck is the residue of design.

A seemingly plain observation really refers to the event of luck fortune].

There is no accidental arrival of fortune; indeed it accrues by effort of hard work. [Design refers to hard work and so luck is the fruit of labour.

To live a life half dead, a living death

This quote is an observation, which portrays the state of present day living [living death]. The person is technically alive but doesn’t share bondage of affection, sense of belonging and the humane touch of friendship. 

Where there is much desire to learn, there of necessity will be much arguing, much writing, for opinion in good men is but knowledge in the making.

In a society, learning comes about arguments/ debate and knowledge [learning ] comes through debate.

Confidence imparts a wonderful inspiration to the possessor.

Clarity from understanding creates a sense of motivation ; these arise from confidence which is an asset to the possessor .

When we speak of knowing God, it must be understood with reference to man's limited powers of comprehension. God, as He really is, is far beyond man's imagination, let alone understanding. God has revealed only so much of Himself as our minds can conceive and the weakness of our nature can bear.

God is a power far beyond human comprehension. Our knowledge about God is rather restricted by our own limitations of comprehension. Thus, God reveals only that much of HIM, which a person can really perceive. Our vision limits our perception of GOD.

I feel, at this point, we may say Thank you Mr. Milton and relish his quotes for a long time to come.
