More quotes by William Morris
And the deeds that ye do upon this earth, it is for fellowship's sake that ye do them.
William Morris
It is the childlike part of us that produces works of the imagination. When we were children time passed so slow with us that we seemed to have time for everything.
William Morris
I am going your way, so let us go hand in hand. You help me and I'll help you. We shall not be here very long ... so let us help one another while we may.
William Morris
That talk of inspiration is sheer nonsense there is no such thing. It is a mere matter of craftsmanship.
William Morris
There is no single policy to which one can point and say - this built the Morris business. I should think I must have made not less than one thousand decisions in each of the last ten years. The success of a business is the result of the proportion of right decisions by the executive in charge.
William Morris
By God! I will not tell you more to-day, Judge any way you will - what matters it?
William Morris
The past is not dead, it is living in us, and will be alive in the future which we are now helping to make.
William Morris
Earth, left silent by the wind of night,Seems shrunken 'neath the gray unmeasured height.
William Morris
History has remembered the kings and warriors, because they destroyed art has remembered the people, because they created.
William Morris
I know a little garden close Set thick with lily and red rose, Where I would wander if I might From dewy dawn to dewy night. And have one with me wandering.
William Morris
Nothing should be made by man's labour which is not worth making, or which must be made by labour degrading to the makers.
William Morris
I do not want art for a few any more than education for a few, or freedom for a few.
William Morris
A world made to be lost, - A bitter life 'twixt pain and nothing tost.
William Morris
It has become an article of the creed of modern morality that all labour is good in itself -- a convenient belief to those who live on the labour of others. But as to those on whom they live, I recommend them not to take it on trust, but to look into the matter a little deeper.
William Morris
Free men must live simple lives and have simple pleasures.
William Morris
If i were asked to say what is at once the most important production of Art and the thing most to be longed for, I should answer, A beautiful House.
William Morris
I half wish that I had not been born with a sense of romance and beauty in this accursed age.
William Morris
A pattern is either right or wrong...it is no stronger than its weakest point.
William Morris
There was a knight came riding by In early spring, when the roads were dry And he heard that lady sing at the noon, Two red roses across the moon.
William Morris
So long as the system of competition in the production and exchange of the means of life goes on, the degradation of the arts will go on and if that system is to last for ever, then art is doomed, and will surely die that is to say, civilization will die.
William Morris
