William Blake
  • The foundation of empire is art and science. Remove them or degrade them, and the empire is no more. Empire follows art and not vice versa as Englishmen suppose.

  • Excessive sorrow laughs. Excessive joy weeps.

  • The thankful receiver bears a plentiful harvest.

  • In seed time learn, in harvest teach, in winter enjoy.

  • Eternity is in love with the productions of time.
