Embraces are cominglings from the head even to the feet, and not a pompous high priest entering by a secret place.
~ William Blake - [Sex]

Excessive sorrow laughs. Excessive joy weeps.
~ William Blake - [Sorrow]

Joys impregnate. Sorrows bring forth.
~ William Blake - [Sorrow]

Some say that happiness is not good for mortals, and they ought to be answered that sorrow is not fit for immortals and is utterly useless to any one; a blight never does good to a tree, and if a blight kill not a tree but it still bear fruit, let none say that the fruit was in consequence of the blight.
~ William Blake - [Sorrow]

He whose face gives no light, shall never become a star.
~ William Blake - [Stardom]

Can I see another's woe, and not be in sorrow too? Can I see another's grief, and not seek for kind relief?
~ William Blake - [Sympathy]

One thought fills immensity.
~ William Blake - [Thoughts and Thinking]

The hours of folly are measured by the clock, but of wisdom no clock can measure.
~ William Blake - [Time and Time Management]

A truth that's told with bad intent beats all the lies you can invent.
~ William Blake - [Truth]

For everything exists and not one sigh nor smile nor tear, one hair nor particle of dust, not one can pass away.
~ William Blake - [Truth]

The truth told with bad intent Beats all the lies you can invent
~ William Blake - [Truth]

Truth can never be told so as to be understood, and not be believed.
~ William Blake - [Truth]

When I tell any truth it is not for the sake of convincing those who do not know it, but for the sake of defending those who do.
~ William Blake - [Truth]

''When the sun rises, do you not see a round disc of fire somewhat like a guinea?'' O no, no, I see an innumerable company of the heavenly host crying ''Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord God Almighty.''
~ William Blake - [Vision]

As a man is, so he sees. As the eye is formed, such are its powers.
~ William Blake - [Vision]

If the doors of perception were cleansed everything would appear to man as it is, infinite. For man has closed himself up, till he sees all things thru chinks of his cavern.
~ William Blake - [Perception]

I see every thing I paint in this world, but everybody does not see alike. To the eyes of a miser a guinea is more beautiful than the sun, and a bag worn with the use of money has more beautiful proportions than a vine filled with grapes.
~ William Blake - [Perspective]

You smile with pomp and rigor, you talk of benevolence and virtue; I act with benevolence and virtue and get murdered time after time.
~ William Blake - [Piety]

I am really sorry to see my countrymen trouble themselves about politics. If men were wise, the most arbitrary princes could not hurt them. If they are not wise, the freest government is compelled to be a tyranny. Princes appear to me to be fools. Houses of Commons and Houses of Lords appear to me to be fools; they seem to me to be something else besides human life.
~ William Blake - [Politicians and Politics]

No bird soars too high, if he soars with his own wings.
~ William Blake - [Possibilities]
