More quotes by William Blake
The fox provides for himself, but God provides for the lion.
William Blake
[L]et light Rise from the chambers of the east, and bring The honey'd dew that cometh on waking day. O radiant morning.
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
One thought fills immensity.
William Blake
Piping down the valleys wild, Piping songs of pleasant glee, On a cloud I saw a child, And he laughing said to me: Pipe a song about a Lamb. So I piped with merry cheer Piper, pipe that song again. So I piped he wept to hear.
William Blake
Abstinence sows sand all over The ruddy limbs and flaming hair, But desire gratified Plants fruits of life and beauty there.

I am in you and you in me, mutual in divine love.
William Blake

William Blake
'Come hither, my boy, tell me what thou seest there?' 'A fool tangled in a religious snare.'
William Blake
When a Man has Married a WifeHe finds out whetherHer Knees & elbows are onlyglued together.
William Blake
On no other ground Can I sow my seed Without tearing up Some stinking weed.
William Blake
As we are, so we see.
William Blake

William Blake
The eagle never lost so much time as when he submitted to learn of the crow
William Blake
The foundation of empire is art and science. Remove them or degrade them, and the empire is no more. Empire follows art and not vice versa as Englishmen suppose.
William Blake
If the lion was advised by the fox, he would be cunning.
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, who are organised by Divine Providence for spiritual communion, refuse, and bury your talent in the earth, even though you should want natural bread, sorrow and desperation pursue you through life, and after death shame and confusion of face to eternity.
William Blake
