More quotes by William Blake
Mercy is the golden chain by which society is bound together.
William Blake
All futurity seems teeming with endless destruction never to be repelled Desperate remorse swallows the present in a quenchless rage.
William Blake
He who shall teach the child to doubtThe rotting grave shall ne'er get out.
William Blake
Then the Parson might preach, & drink, & sing, And we'd be as happy as birds in the spring And modest dame Lurch, who is always at Church, Would not have bandy children, nor fasting, nor birch.
William Blake
Enthusiastic Admiration is the first Principle of Knowledge and its last.
William Blake
A good local pub has much in common with a church, except that a pub is warmer, and there's more conversation.
William Blake
If others had not been foolish, we should be so.
William Blake
Pay attention to minute particulars. Take care of the little ones. Generalization and abstraction are the plea of the hypocrite, scoundrel, and knave.
William Blake
Those who restrain desire, do so because theirs is weak enough to be restrained and the restrainer or reason usurps its place & governs the unwilling. And being restrain'd it by degrees becomes passive till it is only the shadow of desire.
William Blake
It is an easy thing to talk of patience to the afflicted.
William Blake
What is a wife and what is a harlot? What is a church and what is a theatre? are they two and not one? Can they exist separate? Are not religion and politics the same thing? Brotherhood is religion. O demonstrations of reason dividing families in cruelty and pride!
William Blake
Mere enthusiasm is the all in all... / Passion and expression are beauty itself.
William Blake
General knowledges are those knowledges that idiots possess.
William Blake
You throw the sand against the wind and the wind blows it back again.
William Blake
The Fool shall not enter into Heaven let him be ever so Holy.
William Blake
Come o'er the eastern hills, and let our winds Kiss thy perfumed garments let us taste Thy morn and evening breath scatter thy pearls Upon our love-sick land that mourns for thee.
William Blake
Ages are All Equal. / But Genius is Always Above The Age.
William Blake
I care not whether a man is good or evil all that I care / Is whether he is a wise man or a fool. Go! put off holiness, / And put on intellect.
William Blake
And I watered it in fears, Night and morning with my tears And I sunned it with smiles, And with soft deceitful wiles.
William Blake
The wrath of the lion is the wisdom of God.
William Blake
