Παροιμιες απο την κολαση


The road of excess leads to the palace of wisdom.
He who desires but acts not, breeds pestilence.
Dip him in the river who loves water.
If the fool would persist in its folly he would become wise.
Prisons are built with stones of law, brothels with bricks of Religion.
What is now proved was once only imagin'd.
The tigers of wrath are wiser than the horses of instruction.
Expect poison from the standing water.
You never know what is enough unless you know what is more than enough.
If others had not been foolish, we should be so.
As the caterpillar chooses the fairest leaves to lay her eggs on, so the priest lays his curse on the fairest joys.
Improvement makes straight roads; but the crooked roads without improvement are roads of Genius.
Sooner murder an infant in its cradle than nurse unacted desires.

Επιλογή από το βιβλίο "The marriage of heaven and hell" του William Blake.
