When nations grow old, the arts grow cold and commerce settles on every tree.
The Man who never in his Mind and Thoughts travel'd to Heaven is No Artist.
Truth can never be told so as to be understood, and not be believed.
No bird soars too high if he soars with his own wings.
Truth can never be told so as to be understood, and not be believed.
When nations grow old, the arts grow cold and commerce settles on every tree.

He who desires but acts not, breeds pestilence.
The fool who persists in his folly will become wise.
I was angry with my friend: I told my wrath, my wrath die end. I was angry with my foe; I told it not, my wrath did grow.
O Autumn, laden with fruit, and stained With the blood of the grape, pass not, but sit Beneath my shady roof; there thou mayest rest And tune thy jolly voice to my fresh pipe, And all the daughters of the year shall dance! Sing now the lusty song of fruits and flowers.
Sweet babe, in thy face Soft desires I can trace, Secret joys and secret smiles, Little pretty infant wiles.
The weak in courage is strong in cunning.
But to go to school in a summer morn, Oh, it drives all joy away! Under a cruel eye outworn, The little ones spend the day-- In sighing and dismay.

To see the world in a grain of sand, and to see heaven in a wild flower, hold infinity in the palm of your hands, and eternity in an hour.
A fool sees not the same tree that a wise man sees.
Thy friendship oft has made my heart to ache; do be my enemy - for friendship's sake. -William Blake.
Thy friendship oft has made my heart to ache; do be my enemy--for friendship's sake.
The bird a nest, the spider a web, man friendship.
The grave is Heaven's golden gate, And rich and poor around it wait; O Shepherdess of England's fold, Behold this gate of pearl and gold! - William Blake,
To generalize is to be an idiot. To particularize is the alone distinction of merit. General knowledge are those knowledge that idiots possess.
He who binds himself to a joy Does the winged life destroy; But he who kisses the joy as it flies Lives in eternity's sunrise
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.
Cruelty has a human heart, And Jealousy a human face; Terror the human form divine, And Secrecy the human dress.
