William Blake Quotes

William Blake: “Can I see another's woe,
And not be in sorrow too?
Can I see another's grief,
And not seek for kind relief?

Can I see a falling tear,
And not feel my sorrow's share?
Can a father see his child
Weep, nor be with sorrow filled?

Can a mother sit and hear
An infant groan, an infant fear?
No, no! never can it be!
Never, never can it be! ”


William Blake: “When I tell the truth, it is not for the sake of convincing those who do not know it, but for the sake of defending those that do.”


William Blake: “As a man is, so he sees.”


William Blake: “To see a world in a grain of sand, 
And a heaven in a wild flower,
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand, 
An eternity in an hour.”


William Blake: “Forgiveness of enemies can only come upon their repentance.”


William Blake: “I was angry with my friend
I told my wrath, my wrath did end.
I was angry with my foe:
I told it not, my wrath did grow.”


William Blake: “For everything that lives is holy, life delights in life.”


William Blake: “It is easier to forgive an enemy than to forgive a friend.”


William Blake: “The bird a nest
     the spider a web
          the human friendship.”


William Blake: “In seed time learn, in harvest teach, in winter enjoy.”
