Philosophy Quote by William Blake — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“Truth can never be told so as to be understood and not be believed.”

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

“The Prophets Isaiah and Ezekiel dined with me, and I asked them how they dared so roundly to assert, that God spoke to them; and whether they did not think at the time, that they would be misunderstood, & so be the cause of imposition.”

“He who binds to himself a joy”

“If a thing loves, it is infinite.”

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

“An ignorant person is inclined to blame others for his own misfortune. To blame oneself is proof of progress. But the wise man never has to blame another or himself.”

“War means fighting. The business of the soldier is to fight. Armies are not called out to dig trenches, to throw up breastworks, to live in camps, but to find the enemy and strike him; to invade his country, and do him all possible damage in the shortest possible time. This will involve great destruction of life and property while it lasts; but such a war will of necessity be of brief continuance, and so would be an economy of life and property in the end.”

“You do not write your life with words...You write it with actions. What you think is not important. It is only important what you”

“A few years ago it dawned on me that everybody past a certain age ... pretty much constantly dreams of being able to escape from their lives. They don't want to be who they are any more. They want out. This list includes Thurston Howell the Third, Ann-Margret, the cat members of Rent, Václav Havel, space shuttle astronauts and Snuffleupagus. It's universal.”

“This is your life, and its ending one minute at a time.”
