More quotes by William Butler Yeats
But was there ever dog that praised his fleas?
William Butler Yeats
Come near, that no more blinded by man's fate, I find under the boughs of love and hate, In all poor foolish things that live a day, Eternal beauty wandering on her way.
William Butler Yeats
Cast your mind on other days that we in coming days may be still the indomitable Irishry.
William Butler Yeats
And when you sigh from kiss to kiss I hear white Beauty sighing, too, For hours when all must fade like dew.
William Butler Yeats
to be choked with hate May well be of all evil chances chief.
William Butler Yeats
Where there is nothing, there is God.
William Butler Yeats
An intellectual hatred is the worst.
William Butler Yeats
Maybe the bride-bed brings despair, For each an imagined image brings And finds a real image there...
William Butler Yeats
I'm looking for the face I had, before the world was made.
William Butler Yeats
I rise in the dawn, and I kneel and blow Till the seed of the fire flicker and glow And then I must scrub and bake and sweep Till the stars are beginning to blink and peep And the young lie long and dream in their bed.
William Butler Yeats

William Butler Yeats
I am of a healthy long lived race, and our minds improve with age.
William Butler Yeats
All men live in suffering I know as few can know, Whether they take the upper road Or stay content on the low.
William Butler Yeats
Education is not filling
William Butler Yeats
We have lit upon the gentle, sensitive mind And lost the old nonchalance of the hand Whether we have chosen chisel, pen or brush, We are but critics, or but half create.
William Butler Yeats
O sweet everlasting Voices, be still Go to the guards of the heavenly fold And bid them wander obeying your will, Flame under flame, till Time be no more.
William Butler Yeats
For those that love the world serve it in action, Grow rich, popular, and full of influence And should they paint or write still is it action, The struggle of the fly in marmalade.
William Butler Yeats
Sometimes my feet are tired and my hands are quiet, but there is no quiet in my heart.
William Butler Yeats
Dream, dream, for this is also sooth.
William Butler Yeats
The visible world is no longer a reality and the unseen world no longer a dream.
William Butler Yeats
