I Myself Do Nothing

Energy is eternal delight.
William Blake

I must create a system, or be enslaved by another man's.
William Blake

I myself do nothing. The Holy Spirit accomplishes all through me.
William Blake

Innocence dwells with Wisdom, but never with Ignorance.
William Blake

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

Love seeketh not itself to please,
Nor for itself hath any care,
But for another gives its ease,
And builds a Heaven in Hell's despair.
William Blake

No bird soars too high if he soars with his own wings.
William Blake

Those who control their passions do so because their passions are weak enough to be controlled.
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,
And eternity in an hour.
William Blake

When thou seest an eagle, thou seest a portion of genius; lift up thy head!
William Blake

As I was walking among the fires of Hell,
delighted with the enjoyments of Genius;
which to Angels look like torment and insanity.
I collected some of their Proverbs.
William Blake, "The Marriage of Heaven and Hell", 1790
