More quotes by William Blake
Since all the riches of this world May be gifts from the Devil and earthly kings, I should suspect that I worshipp'd the Devil If I thank'd my God for worldly things.
William Blake
If you, who are organised by Divine Providence for spiritual communion, refuse, and bury your talent in the earth, even though you should want natural bread, sorrow and desperation pursue you through life, and after death shame and confusion of face to eternity.
William Blake
Gratitude, in itself, is heaven.
William Blake
Lo! now the direful monster, whose skin clings To his strong bones, strides o'er the groaning rocks: He withers all in silence, and his hand Unclothes the earth, and freezes up frail life.
William Blake
The look of love alarms Because 'tis filled with fire But the look of soft deceit Shall win the lover's hire.
William Blake
For I dance And drink and sing, Till some blind hand Shall brush my wing. If thought is life And strength and breath And the want Of thought is death Then am I A happy fly If I live Or if I die
William Blake
If the doors of perception were cleansed everything would appear to man as it is, infinite. For man has closed himself up, till he sees all things thru chinks of his cavern.
William Blake
Works of Art can only be produc'd in Perfection where the Man is either in Affluence or is Above the Care of it.
William Blake
Pity would be no more, If we did not make somebody poor. Mercy no more could be, If all were happy as we.
William Blake
When I tell the truth, it is not for the sake of convincing those who do not know it, but for the sake of defending those that do.
William Blake
The bird a nest, the spider a web, man friendship.
William Blake
I will not cease from mental fight Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand.
William Blake
Why cannot the ear be closed to its own destruction? Or the glistening eye to the poison of a smile?
William Blake
The glory of Christianity is to conquer by forgiveness.
William Blake
The road of excess leads to the palace of wisdom.
William Blake
Nature in darkness groans and men are bound to sullen contemplation in the night: restless they turn on beds of sorrow in their inmost brain feeling the crushing wheels, they rise, they write the bitter words of stern philosophy and knead the bread of knowledge with tears and groans.
William Blake
He who sees the Infinite in all things sees God.
William Blake
The lamb misused breeds public strife And yet forgives the butcher's knife.
William Blake
He who binds to himself a joy Does the winged life destroy But he who kisses the joy as it flies Lives in eternity's sun rise.
William Blake
To generalize is to be an idiot. To particularize is the alone distinction of merit. General knowledge are those knowledge that idiots possess.
William Blake
