William Blake

William Blake
I myself do nothing. The Holy Spirit accomplishes all through me.
William Blake
For all eternity, I forgive you and you forgive me.
William Blake
You never know what is enough unless you know what is more than enough.
William Blake
Excessive sorrow laughs. Excessive joy weeps.
William Blake
Life delights in life.
William Blake
That the Jews assumed a right exclusively to the benefits of God will be a lasting witness against them and the same will it be against Christians.
William Blake
If Christianity was morality, Socrates would be the Saviour.
