More quotes by William Blake
He who wants, but doesn't act, is a pest.
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
Gratitude is heaven itself there could be no heaven without gratitude.
William Blake
The Woman that does not love your Frowns Will never embrace your smiles.
William Blake
Dear Mother, dear Mother, the Church is cold, But the Ale-house is healthy and pleasant and warm.
William Blake
I am more famed in Heaven for my works than I could well conceive. In my brain are studies & chambers filled with books & pictures of old, which I wrote and painted in ages of Eternity before my mortal life and whose works are the delight & study of Archangels. Why, then, should I be anxious about the riches or fame of mortality?
William Blake
How have you left the ancient love That bards of old enjoyed in you! The languid strings do scarcely move! The sound is forced, the notes are few!
William Blake
He who pretends to be either painter or engraver without being a master of drawing is an imposter.
William Blake
The countless gold of a merry heart, The rubies and pearls of a loving eye, The indolent never can bring to the mart, Nor the secret hoard up in his treasury.
William Blake
Auguries of innocence The emmet's inch and eagle's mile Make lame philosophy to smile. He who doubts from what he sees Will ne'er believe, do what you please.
William Blake
One law for the lion and ox is oppression.
William Blake
Love to faults is always blind, always is to joy inclined. Lawless, winged, and unconfined, and breaks all chains from every mind.
William Blake
Great things are done when men and mountains meet.
William Blake
Wisdom is sold in a desolate marketplace where none can come to buy.
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
Those who enter the gates of heaven are not beings who have no passions or who have curbed the passions, but those who have cultivated an understanding of them.
William Blake
Painters are noted for being dissipated and wild.
William Blake
The eye altering, alters all.
William Blake
Let the men do their duty & the women will be such wonders the female life lives from the light of the male: see a man's female dependants, you know the man.
William Blake
God only acts and is, in existing beings or men.
William Blake
