Additional quotes by William Blake

To generalize is to be an idiot.

Then every man, of every clime, That prays in his distress, Prays to the human form divine, Love, Mercy, Pity, Peace. And all must love the human form, In heathen, Turk, or Jew; Where Mercy, Love, and Pity dwell There God is dwelling too.

Every night, and every morn,
Some to misery are born.
Every morn, and every night,
Some are born to sweet delight.
Some are born to sweet delight.
Some are born to endless night.

Time is the mercy of Eternity; without Time's swiftness Which is the swiftest of all things, all were eternal torment. - William Blake
