More quotes by William Blake

William Blake

William Blake
To some people a tree is something so incredibly beautiful that it brings tears to the eyes. To others it is just a green thing that stands in the way.
William Blake
Pride is a personal commitment. It is an attitude which separates excellence from mediocrity.
William Blake
It is an easy thing to talk of patience to the afflicted.
William Blake
The little ones leaped, and shouted, and laugh'd And all the hills echoed
William Blake
The atoms of Democritus And Newton's particles of light Are sands upon the Red Sea shore, Where Israel's tents do shine so bright.
William Blake
