William Morris
And the deeds that ye do upon this earth, it is for fellowship's sake that ye do them.
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 man at work, making something which he feels will exist because he is working at it and wills it, is exercising the energies of his mind and soul as well as of his body. Memory and imagination help him as he works.
William Morris

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
Beauty, which is what is meant by art, using the word in its widest sense, is, I contend, no mere accident to human life, which people can take or leave as they choose, but a positive necessity of life.
William Morris
Give me love and work - these two only.
William Morris
If we feel the least degradation in being amorous, or merry or hungry, or sleepy, we are so far bad animals & miserable men.
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
