William Wordsworth

The grandest movements that have ever been made in the world have been made by the spirit of man.

The child is father of the man; and I could wish my days to be bound each to each by natural piety.

The poetry of earth is never dead.

The primal sympathy which having been must ever be.

The power of a human being is in his heart.

Not in entire forgetfulness, and not in utter nakedness, but trailing clouds of glory do we come from God, who is our home.

The deepest things are those which lie nearest to the surface.

The sense of beauty and the love of it are the true tests of a man's moral state.

The heart that is soonest awake to the flowers is always the first to be touched by the thorns.

The mind of man is framed even like the breath of heaven.

I wandered lonely as a cloud That floats on high o'er vales and hills, When all at once I saw a crowd, A host, of golden daffodils.

The Child is father of the Man; And I could wish my days to be Bound each to each by natural piety.

Come forth into the light of things, Let Nature be your teacher.

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

One impulse from a vernal wood May teach you more of man, Of moral evil and of good, Than all the sages can.

We are laid asleep In body, and become a living soul: While with an eye made quiet by the power Of harmony, and the deep power of joy, We see into the life of things.

Nature never did betray The heart that loved her.

Golf is a good walk spoiled.

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; We have given our hearts away, a sordid boon!
