More quotes by William Blake
That the Jews assumed a right exclusively to the benefits of God will be a lasting witness against them and the same will it be against Christians.
William Blake
A truth that's told with bad intent beats all the lies you can invent.
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? Can I see a falling tear, And not feel my sorrow's share? Can a father see his child Weep, nor be with sorrow filled? Can a mother sit and hear An infant groan, an infant fear? No, no! never can it be! Never, never can it be!
William Blake
Where cheating is, there's mischief there.
William Blake
England! awake! awake! awake! Jerusalem thy sister calls! Why wilt thou sleep the sleep of death And close her from thy ancient walls?
William Blake

William Blake
The weak in courage is strong in cunning.
William Blake

William Blake
To the eyes of a miser a guinea is more beautiful than the sun, and a bag worn with the use of money has more beautiful proportions than a vine filled with grapes.
William Blake
The lamb misused breeds public strife And yet forgives the butcher's knife.
William Blake
The look of love alarms Because 'tis filled with fire But the look of soft deceit Shall win the lover's hire.
William Blake
If the lion was advised by the fox, he would be cunning.
William Blake
May God us keep From Single vision and Newton's sleep.
William Blake
Grown old in love from seven till seven times seven,I oft have wished for Hell for ease from Heaven.
William Blake
If a thing loves, it is infinite.
William Blake
All the destruction in Christian Europe has arisen from deism, which is natural religion.
William Blake
I am under the direction of messengers from Heaven daily and nightly.
William Blake
