More quotes by William Blake
Fun I love, but too much fun is of all things the most loathsome. Mirth is better than fun, and happiness is better than mirth.
William Blake
A DIVINE IMAGE Cruelty has a human heart, And Jealousy a human face Terror the human form divine, And Secresy the human dress. The human dress is forged iron, The human form a fiery forge, The human face a furnace sealed, The human heart its hungry gorge.
William Blake
Without minute neatness of execution, the sublime cannot exist! Grandeur of ideas is founded on precision of ideas.
William Blake
It is not because angels are holier than men or devils that makes them angels, but because they do not expect holiness from one another, but from God only.
William Blake
Why a tender curb upon the youthful burning boy? Why a little curtain of flesh on the bed of our desire?
William Blake
There can be no Good Will. Will is always Evil it is persecution to others or selfishness.
William Blake
The countless gold of a merry heart, The rubies and pearls of a loving eye, The indolent never can bring to the mart, Nor the secret hoard up in his treasury.
William Blake
They who forgive most shall be most forgiven.
William Blake
Imagination is the real and eternal world of which this vegetable universe is but a faint shadow.
William Blake
Bring me my bow of burning gold: Bring me my arrows of desire: Bring me my spear: O clouds, unfold! Bring me my chariot of fire.
William Blake
The apple tree never asks the beech how he shall grow, nor the lion, the horse, how he shall take his prey.
William Blake
Such, such were the joys When we all, girls and boys, In our youth time were seen On the Echoing Green.
William Blake
The pride of the peacock is the glory of God.
William Blake
The fox condemns the trap, not himself.
William Blake
There is a smile of love, And there is a smile of deceit, And there is a smile of smiles In which these two smiles meet.
William Blake
As a man is, so he sees. As the eye is formed, such are its powers.
William Blake
And is he honest who resists his genius or conscience only for the sake of present ease or gratification
William Blake
One law for the lion and ox is oppression.
William Blake
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand.
William Blake
To see a world in a grain of sand And a heaven in a wild flower, Hold infinity in the palm of your hand, And eternity in an hour.
William Blake
