Quotations
More than enough
topics: liberty
You never know what is enough unless you know what is more than enough.
From the book The Marriage of Heaven and Hell
— 1793
To see a world in a grain of sand
To see a world in a grain of sand
And heaven in a wild flower
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand
And eternity in an hour.
From the book The Portable William Blake

Expectations of holiness
topics: imperfection
It is not because angels are holier than men or devils that makes them angels, but because they do not expect holiness from one another, but from God only.
From the unknown unknown
Minute Particulars
topics: practical
He who would do good to another must do it in Minute Particulars: general Good is the plea of the scoundrel, hypocrite, and flatterer, for Art and Science cannot exist but in minutely organized Particulars.
