Hi,
I was searching for a William Blake quote when I noticed one that was incorrect. The quote should read, The man who never alters his opinion is like standing water, and breeds reptiles of the mind.

The quote from Poor Man's College read, The man who never alters his opinion is like standing in water, and breeds reptiles of the mind. I hope someone will ammend it soon.

Regards, Elaine

It's fixed - thanks for noticing. "Standing in water" sure didn't sound right...
