William Wordsworth

Life is divided into three terms - that which was, which is, and which will be. Let us learn from the past to profit by the present, and from the present, to live better in the future.

That though the radiance which was once so bright be now forever taken from my sight. Though nothing can bring back the hour of splendor in the grass, glory in the flower. We will grieve not, rather find strength in what remains behind.

How does the Meadow flower its bloom unfold? Because the lovely little flower is free down to its root, and in that freedom bold.

The things which I have seen I now can see no more.

What is pride? A rocket that emulates the stars.

The best portion of a good man's life is his little, nameless, unremembered acts of kindness and of love.

That best portion of a man's life, his little, nameless, unremembered acts of kindness and love.

When from our better selves we have too long been parted by the hurrying world, and droop. Sick of its business, of its pleasures tired, how gracious, how benign is solitude.

Rapine, avarice, expense, This is idolatry; and these we adore; Plain living and high thinking are no more.

With an eye made quiet by the power of harmony, and the deep power of joy, we see into the life of things.

Wisdom is oftentimes nearer when we stoop than when we soar.

The child is father of the man.
