More quotes by William Blake
There is no mistake so great as the mistake of not going on.
William Blake
What is a wife and what is a harlot? What is a church and what is a theatre? are they two and not one? Can they exist separate? Are not religion and politics the same thing? Brotherhood is religion. O demonstrations of reason dividing families in cruelty and pride!
William Blake
Where mercy, love, and pity dwell, there God is dwelling too.
William Blake
Exuberance is beauty.
William Blake
Does a firm persuasion that a thing is so, make it so? He replied, All poets believe it does. And in ages of imagination, this firm persuasion removes mountains but many are not capable of firm persuasion of anything.
William Blake
Commerce is so far from being beneficial to arts, or to empire, that it is destructive of both, as all their history shows, for the above reason of individual merit being its great hatred. Empires flourish till they become commercial, and then they are scattered abroad to the four winds.
William Blake
It is easier to forgive an enemy than to forgive a friend.
William Blake
I love hanging and drawing and quartering Every bit as well as war and slaughtering.
William Blake
Come o'er the eastern hills, and let our winds Kiss thy perfumed garments let us taste Thy morn and evening breath scatter thy pearls Upon our love-sick land that mourns for thee.
William Blake
All wholesome food is caught without a net or trap.
William Blake
Bring me my bow of burning gold: Bring me my arrows of desire: Bring me my spear: O clouds, unfold! Bring me my chariot of fire.
William Blake
The person who does not believe in miracles surely makes it certain that he or she will never take part in one.
William Blake
The roaring of lions, the howling of wolves, the raging of the stormy sea, and the destructive sword, are portions of eternity, too great for the eye of man.
William Blake
'Come hither, my boy, tell me what thou seest there?' 'A fool tangled in a religious snare.'
William Blake
The eye sees more than the heart knows.
William Blake
How can a bird that is born for joy Sit in a cage and sing?
William Blake
Listen to the fool's reproach! It is a kingly title!
William Blake
In your own bosom you bear your heaven and earth, And all you behold, though it appears without, It is within, in your imagination, Of which this world of mortality is but a shadow.
William Blake
If a thing loves, it is infinite.
William Blake
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
