William Wordsworth

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

"Come forth into the light of things, let nature be your teacher."

"Faith is a passionate intuition."

"Fill your paper with the breathings of your heart."

"For I have learned to look on nature, not as in the hour of thoughtless youth, but hearing oftentimes the still, sad music of humanity."

"Getting and spending, we lay waste our powers."

"Golf is a day spent in a round of strenuous idleness."

"I listened, motionless and still; And, as I mounted up the hill, The music in my heart I bore, Long after it was heard no more."

"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."

"Nature never did betray the heart that loved her."

"Poetry is the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings: it takes its origin from emotion recollected in tranquility."

"Suffering is permanent, obscure and dark, And shares the nature of infinity."

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

"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."

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

"The child is father of the man."

"The ocean is a mighty harmonist."

"The world is too much with us; late and soon, getting and spending, we lay waste our powers: Little we see in Nature that is ours."

"To begin, begin."

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