For we must consider that we shall be as a city upon a hill. The eyes of all people are upon us. So that if we shall deal falsely with our God in this work we have undertaken, and so cause him to withdraw his present help from us, we shall be made a story and a by-word through the world.

—John Winthrop, founding member of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, in his work A Model of Christian Charity, 1630

Through all the Empyréan. Down they fell, Driven headlong from the pitch of Heaven . . .

—John Milton, Paradise Lost
