More quotes by William Morris
Love is enough: though the world be a-waning, And the woods have no voice but the voice of complaining.
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
All rooms ought to look as if they were lived in, and to have so to say, a friendly welcome ready for the incomer.
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 wind is not helpless for any man's need, Nor falleth the rain but for thistle and weed.
William Morris
Art made by the people for the people, as a joy to the maker and the user.
William Morris
As to the garden, it seems to me its chief fruit is-blackbirds.
William Morris
...If our houses, or clothes, our household furniture and utensils are not works of art, they are either wretched makeshifts, or, what is worse, degrading shams of better things.
William Morris
Have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful.
William Morris
Speak not, move not, but listen, the sky is full of gold. No ripple on the river, no stir in field or fold, All gleams but naught doth glisten, but the far-off unseen sea. Forget days past, heart broken, put all memory by! No grief on the green hillside, no pity in the sky, Joy that may not be spoken fills mead and flower and tree.
William Morris
History has remembered the kings and warriors, because they destroyed art has remembered the people, because they created.
William Morris
Free men must live simple lives and have simple pleasures.
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
My work is the embodiment of dreams in one form or another.
William Morris
No pattern should be without some sort of meaning.
William Morris
Don't think too much of style.
William Morris
To happy folkAll heaviest words no more of meaning bearThan far-off bells saddening the Summer air.
William Morris
We are only the trustees for those who come after us.
William Morris
I do not want art for a few any more than education for a few, or freedom for a few.
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
