More quotes by William Blake
'Come hither, my boy, tell me what thou seest there?' 'A fool tangled in a religious snare.'
William Blake
The fox provides for himself, but God provides for the lion.
William Blake
The Vision of Christ that thou dost see, Is my vision's greatest enemy. Thine is the Friend of all Mankind, Mine speaks in Parables to the blind. Thine loves the same world that mine hates, Thy heaven-doors are my hell gates.
William Blake
Kill not the moth nor butterfly, For the Last Judgement draweth nigh.
William Blake
As the caterpillar chooses the fairest leaves to lay her eggs on, so the priest lays his curse on the fairest joys.
William Blake
I see through my eyes, not with them.
William Blake
Gratitude, in itself, is heaven.
William Blake
More! More! is the cry of a mistaken soul.
William Blake
The roaring of lions, the howling of wolves, the raging of the stormy sea, and the destructive sword, are portions of eternity, too great for the eye of man.
William Blake
Acts themselves alone are history, and these are neither the exclusive property of Hume, Gibbon nor Voltaire, Echard, Rapin, Plutarch, nor Herodotus. Tell me the Acts, O historian, and leave me to reason upon them as I please away with your reasoning and your rubbish. All that is not action is not worth reading.
William Blake
The human mind cannot go beyond the gift of God, the Holy Ghost. To suppose that art can go beyond the finest specimens of art that are now in the world is not knowing what art is it is being blind to the gifts of the spirit.
William Blake
The apple tree never asks the beech how he shall grow, nor the lion, the horse, how he shall take his prey.
William Blake
Without contraries there is no progression.
William Blake
My Brother starv'd between two Walls,His Children's Cry my Soul appalls
William Blake
Can I see another's woe, and not be in sorrow too? Can I see another's grief, and not seek for kind relief?
William Blake
Eternity is in love with the productions of time.
William Blake
Every thing possible to be believ'd is an image of truth.
William Blake
The lust of the goat is the bounty of God.
William Blake
Can I see a falling tear, And not feel my sorrow's share?
William Blake
Let every Christian, as much as in him lies, engage himself openly and publicly, before all the World, in some mental pursuit for the Building up of Jerusalem.
William Blake
