So dear to Heaven is saintly chastity,
That, when a soul is found sincerely so,
A thousand liveried angels lacky her,
Driving far off each thing of sin and guilt. – John Milton
The stars, that nature hung in heaven, and filled their lamps with everlasting oil, give due light to the misled and lonely traveller. – John Milton
Prudence is the virtue by which we discern what is proper to do under various circumstances in time and place. – John Milton
It is not miserable to be blind; it is miserable to be incapable of enduring blindness. – John Milton
The generative energy, which, when we are loose, dissipates and makes us unclean, when we are continent invigorates and inspires us. Chastity is the flowering of man; and what are called Genius, Heroism, Holiness, and the like, are but various fruits which succeed it. – Henry David Thoreau
Much of the modern resistance to chastity comes from mens belief that they own their bodies — those vast and perilous estates, pulsating with the energy that made the worlds, in which they find themselves without their consent and from which they are ejected at the pleasure of Another! – C.S. Lewis
