William Blake Wisdom Quotations

Does the Eagle know what is in the pit / Or wilt thou go ask the Mole? / Can Wisdom be put in a silver rod, / Or Love in a golden bowl?

What is the price of experience? Do men buy it for a song? Or wisdom for a dance in the street? No, it is bought with the price of all the man hath, his house, his wife, his children.

When the doors of perception are cleansed, men will see things as they truly are, infinite.

Does the Eagle know what is in the pit Or wilt thou go ask the Mole? Can Wisdom be put in a silver rod, Or Love in a golden bowl?

The tigers of wrath are wiser than the horses of instruction.

To generalize is to be an idiot.

The fool who persists in his folly will become wise.

The hours of folly are measured by the clock; but of wisdom, no clock can measure.

You never know what is enough unless you know what is more than enough.

The man who never alters his opinions is like standing water, and breeds reptiles of the mind.
