More quotes by 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
God only acts and is, in existing beings or men.
William Blake
Drive your cart and plow over the bones of the dead.
William Blake
Shame is pride's cloak.
William Blake
To the eyes of the man of imagination, nature is imagination itself.
William Blake
What is now proved was once only imagined.
William Blake
You cannot have Liberty in this world without what you call Moral Virtue, and you cannot have Moral Virtue without the slavery of that half of the human race who hate what you call Moral Virtue.
William Blake
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
God forbid that Truth should be confined to Mathematical Demonstration!
William Blake
Death is terrible, tho' borne on angels' wings!
William Blake
I rest not from my great task! | To open the Eternal Worlds, | to open the immortal Eyes of Man | Inwards into the Worlds of Thought | Into eternity, ever expanding | In the Bosom of God, | The Human Imagination
William Blake
Execution is the chariot of genius.
William Blake
Little Lamb, who made thee? Dost thou know who made thee?
William Blake
Hindsight is a wonderful thing but foresight is better, especially when it comes to saving life, or some pain!
William Blake
If you cannot imagine with the mind's eye much more than you can see with the mortal eye, you have a very poor imagination indeed.
William Blake
Dip him in the river who loves water.
William Blake
He who would do good to another must do it in minute particulars.
William Blake
O Autumn, laden with fruit, and stained With the blood of the grape, pass not, but sit Beneath my shady roof there thou may'st rest, And tune thy jolly voice to my fresh pipe And all the daughters of the year shall dance! Sing now the lusty song of fruit and flowers.
William Blake
The child's toys and the old man's reasons are the fruits of two seasons.
William Blake
