Image
Hindsight is a wonderful thing but foresight is better, especially when it comes to saving life, or some pain!
William Blake
Image
Art is the tree of life. Science is the tree of death.
William Blake
Image
Does a firm persuasion that a thing is so, make it so?
William Blake
Image
I heard an Angel singing When the day was springing, Mercy, Pity, Peace Is the world's release.
William Blake
Image
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
Image
What is the price of experience? Do men buy it for a song? Or wisdom for a dance in the street? No, it is bought with the price of all the man hath, his house, his wife, his children.
William Blake
Image
If a thing loves, it is infinite.
William Blake
Image
He who pretends to be either painter or engraver without being a master of drawing is an imposter.
William Blake
Image
Those who restrain desire, do so because theirs is weak enough to be restrained.
William Blake
Image
Pay attention to minute particulars. Take care of the little ones. Generalization and abstraction are the plea of the hypocrite, scoundrel, and knave.
William Blake
Image
The Man who never in his Mind & Thoughts travel'd to Heaven Is No Artist.
William Blake
Image
Energy is the only life, and is from the body and reason is the bound or outward circumference of energy. Energy is eternal delight.
William Blake
Image
Naught can deform the human race Like to the armor's iron brace.
William Blake
Image
He who desires, but acts not, breeds pestilence.
William Blake
Image
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
Image
Thou fair-hair'd angel of the evening, Now, whilst the sun rests on the mountains, light Thy bright torch of love thy radiant crown Put on, and smile upon our evening bed!
William Blake
Image
When the sun rises, do you not see a round disc of fire somewhat like a guinea? O no, no, I see an innumerable company of the heavenly host crying Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord God Almighty.
William Blake
Image
Where others see but the dawn coming over the hill, I see the soul of God shouting for joy.
William Blake
Image
If the doors of perception were cleansed everything would appear to man as it is, infinite.
William Blake
Image
He who would do good to another must do it in Minute Particulars: general Good is the plea of the scoundrel, hypocrite, and flatterer, for Art and Science cannot exist but in minutely organized Particulars.
