William Blake

26 quotes

If the doors of perception were cleansed, everything would appear to man as it is — infinite.

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.

Tyger Tyger, burning bright, in the forests of the night.

A truth that’s told with bad intent beats all the lies you can invent.

The eagle never lost so much time as when he submitted to learn of the crow.

He who desires but acts not, breeds pestilence.

The cut worm forgives the plow.

No bird soars too high if he soars with his own wings.

If the fool would persist in his folly he would become wise.

Prudence is a rich ugly old maid courted by Incapacity.
