Additional quotes by William Blake

Commerce is so far from being beneficial to Arts or to Empire, that it is destructive of both, as all their History shows, for the above Reason of Individual Merit being its Great Hatred. Empires flourish till they become Commercial & then they are scattered abroad to the four winds

Better to shun the bait than struggle in the snare.

Man's desires are limited by his perceptions; none can desire what he has not perceiv'd.
