Joy and woe are woven fine, A clothing for the soul divine. Under every grief and pine Runs a joy with silken twine.

More quotes by William Blake
The worship of God is, Honouring his gifts in other men each according to his genius, and loving the greatest men best those who envy or calumniate great men hate God, for there is no other God.
William Blake
The lust of the goat is the bounty of God.
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
To generalize is to be an idiot. To particularize is the alone distinction of merit. General knowledge are those knowledge that idiots possess.
William Blake
The pure soul shall mount on native wings, . . . and cut a path into the heaven of glory.
William Blake
The Vision of Christ that thou dost see, Is my vision's greatest enemy. Thine is the Friend of all Mankind, Mine speaks in Parables to the blind. Thine loves the same world that mine hates, Thy heaven-doors are my hell gates.
William Blake
Those who restrain desire, do so because theirs is weak enough to be restrained and the restrainer or reason usurps its place & governs the unwilling. And being restrain'd it by degrees becomes passive till it is only the shadow of desire.
William Blake
The weak in courage is strong in cunning.
William Blake
Make your own rules or be a slave to another man's.
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
And is he honest who resists his genius or conscience only for the sake of present ease or gratification
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
Can I see another's woe, and not be in sorrow too? Can I see another's grief, and not seek for kind relief?
William Blake
When my mother died I was very young, And my father sold me while yet my tongue Could scarcely cry weep weep weep weep. So your chimneys I sweep, and in soot I sleep.
William Blake
Harmony of colouring is destructive of art? it is like the smile of a fool.
William Blake
Little fly, thy summer's play My thoughtless hand has brushed away. Am not I a fly like thee? Or art not thou a man like me? For I dance and drink and sing, Till some blind hand shall brush my wing!
William Blake
To see a world in a grain of sand and a heaven in a wildflower.
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
There is a place where Contrarieties are equally True.
William Blake
Both read the Bible day and night, but thou read black where I read white.
William Blake
