More quotes by William Blake
It is an easy thing to talk of patience to the afflicted.
William Blake
When the doors of perception are cleansed, men will see things as they truly are, infinite.
William Blake
For everything exists and not one sigh nor smile nor tear, one hair nor particle of dust, not one can pass away.
William Blake
Those who enter the gates of heaven are not beings who have no passions or who have curbed the passions, but those who have cultivated an understanding of them.
William Blake
The roaring of lions, the howling of wolves, the raging of the stormy sea, and the destructive sword, are portions of eternity, too great for the eye of man.
William Blake
It is the greatest of crimes to depress true art and science.
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 wrath of the lion is the wisdom of God.
William Blake
Little Lamb, who made thee? Dost thou know who made thee?
William Blake
Truth can never be told so as to be understood and not be believed.
William Blake
As a man is, so he sees. As the eye is formed, such are its powers.
William Blake
Think in the morning. Act in the noon. Eat in the evening. Sleep in the night.
William Blake
To generalize is to be an idiot. To particularize is the alone distinction of merit. General knowledge are those knowledge that idiots possess.
William Blake
Drive your cart and plow over the bones of the dead.
William Blake
For all eternity, I forgive you and you forgive me.
William Blake
Man was made for joy and woe, and when this we rightly know through the world we safely go. Joy and woe are woven fine, a clothing for the soul to bind.
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
Come o'er the eastern hills, and let our winds Kiss thy perfumed garments let us taste Thy morn and evening breath scatter thy pearls Upon our love-sick land that mourns for thee.
William Blake
In your own bosom you bear your heaven and earth, And all you behold, though it appears without, It is within, in your imagination, Of which this world of mortality is but a shadow.
William Blake
There is no mistake so great as the mistake of not going on.
William Blake
