William Blake
Mercy is the golden chain by which society is bound together.
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 moon, like a flower in heaven's high bower, with silent delight sits and smiles on the night.
William Blake
The hours of folly are measured by the clock but of wisdom, no clock can measure.
William Blake
Imitation is criticism.
William Blake
