More quotes by William Blake
Mercy, pity, and peace, Are the world's release.
William Blake
A fool sees not the same tree that a wise man sees.
William Blake
The Goddess Fortune is the devil's servant, ready to kiss any one's ass.
William Blake
LOVE'S SECRET Never seek to tell thy love, Love that never told can be For the gentle wind doth move Silently, invisibly. I told my love, I told my love, I told her all my heart, Trembling, cold, in ghastly fears. Ah! she did depart! Soon after she was gone from me, A traveller came by, Silently, invisibly: He took her with a sigh.
William Blake
Active Evil is better than Passive Good.
William Blake
But to go to school in a summer morn, O! It drives all joy away Under a cruel eye outworn, The little ones spend the day In sighing and dismay.
William Blake
Mercy, Pity, Peace Is the world's release.
William Blake
I am more famed in Heaven for my works than I could well conceive. In my brain are studies & chambers filled with books & pictures of old, which I wrote and painted in ages of Eternity before my mortal life and whose works are the delight & study of Archangels. Why, then, should I be anxious about the riches or fame of mortality?
William Blake
He who has few things to desire cannot have many to fear.
William Blake
If you would help another man, you must do so in minute particulars.
William Blake
The inquiry in England is not whether a man has talents and genius, but whether he is passive and polite and a virtuous ass and obedient to noblemen's opinions in art and science. If he is, he is a good man. If not, he must be starved.
William Blake
Sweet babe, in thy face Soft desires I can trace, Secret joys and secret smiles, Little pretty infant wiles.
William Blake
The fool who persists in his folly will become wise.
William Blake
All the destruction in Christian Europe has arisen from deism, which is natural religion.
William Blake
He whose face gives no light, shall never become a star.
William Blake
The ignorant Insults of Individuals will not hinder me from doing my duty to my Art
William Blake
God only acts and is, in existing beings or men.
William Blake
The pride of the peacock is the glory of God. The lust of the goat is the bounty of God. The wrath of the lion is the wisdom of God. The nakedness of woman is the work of God.
William Blake
He who sees the Infinite in all things sees God.
William Blake
If the lion was advised by the fox, he would be cunning.
William Blake
