More quotes by William Blake
He who does not imagine in stronger and better lineaments, and in stronger and better light than his perishing and mortal eye can see, does not imagine at all.
William Blake
Thou art a man God is no more Thy own humanity Learn to adore
William Blake
Where others see but the dawn coming over the hill, I see the soul of God shouting for joy.
William Blake
A dead body revenges not injuries.
William Blake
And is he honest who resists his genius or conscience only for the sake of present ease or gratification

When the voices of children are heard on the greenAnd laughing is heard on the hill,My heart is at rest within my breastAnd everything else is still.

William Blake
The pride of the peacock is the glory of God. The lust of the goat is the bounty of God. The wrath of the lion is the wisdom of God. The nakedness of woman is the work of God.
William Blake
They who forgive most shall be most forgiven.
William Blake
And I made a rural pen, And I stained the water clear, And I wrote my happy songs Every Child may joy to hear.
William Blake

William Blake
The most sublime act is to set another before you.
William Blake
LOVE'S SECRET Never seek to tell thy love, Love that never told can be For the gentle wind doth move Silently, invisibly. I told my love, I told my love, I told her all my heart, Trembling, cold, in ghastly fears. Ah! she did depart! Soon after she was gone from me, A traveller came by, Silently, invisibly: He took her with a sigh.
William Blake
The lust of the goat is the bounty of God.
William Blake
The Man who pretends to be a modest enquirer into the truth of a self-evident thing is a Knave.
William Blake
The Britons (say historians) were naked, civilized men, learned, studious, abstruse in thought and contemplation naked, simple, plain in their acts and manners wiser than after ages.
William Blake
Praises reap not! Joys laugh not! Sorrows weep not!
William Blake
