More quotes by William Blake
God is the poetic genius in each of us.
William Blake
The glory of Christianity is to conquer by forgiveness.
William Blake
Commerce is so far from being beneficial to arts, or to empire, that it is destructive of both, as all their history shows, for the above reason of individual merit being its great hatred. Empires flourish till they become commercial, and then they are scattered abroad to the four winds.
William Blake
The pure soul shall mount on native wings, . . . and cut a path into the heaven of glory.
William Blake
Where cheating is, there's mischief there.
William Blake
Better to shun the bait than struggle in the snare.
William Blake
Does a firm persuasion that a thing is so, make it so? He replied, All poets believe it does. And in ages of imagination, this firm persuasion removes mountains but many are not capable of firm persuasion of anything.
William Blake
O God, protect me from my friends, that they have not power over me. Thou hast giv'n me power to protect myself from thy bitterest enemies.
William Blake
One law for the lion and ox is oppression.
William Blake
O thou who passest through our valleys in Thy strength, curb thy fierce steeds, allay the heat That flames from their large nostrils! Thou, O Summer, Oft pitchest here thy golden tent, and oft Beneath our oaks hast slept, while we beheld With joy thy ruddy limbs and flourishing hair.
William Blake
The thankful receiver bears a plentiful harvest.
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
Exuberance is beauty.
William Blake
Such, such were the joys When we all, girls and boys, In our youth time were seen On the Echoing Green.
William Blake
If you trap the moment before it's ripe, The tears of repentence you'll certainly wipe But if once you let the ripe moment go You can never wipe off the tears of woe.
William Blake
I love hanging and drawing and quartering Every bit as well as war and slaughtering.
William Blake
Painters are noted for being dissipated and wild.
William Blake
Since the French Revolution Englishmen are all intermeasurable one by another, certainly a happy state of agreement to which I forone do not agree.
William Blake
When the stars threw down their spears, and watered heaven with their tears, did he smile his work to see? Did he who made the Lamb make thee?
William Blake
