William Wordsworth
Image
Through love, through hope, and faith's transcendent dower, We feel that we are greater than we know.
William Wordsworth
Image
And through the heat of conflict keeps the law In calmness made, and sees what he foresaw.
William Wordsworth
Image
Because the good old rule Sufficeth them,-the simple plan, That they should take who have the power, And they should keep who can.
William Wordsworth

The childhood of today is the manhood of tomorrow
William Wordsworth
