More quotes by William Wordsworth
The gods approve The depth, and not the tumult, of the soul.
William Wordsworth
Thought and theory must precede all action, that moves to salutary purposes. Yet action is nobler in itself than either thought or theory.
William Wordsworth
Science appears but what in truth she is, Not as our glory and our absolute boast, But as a succedaneum, and a prop To our infirmity.
William Wordsworth
Stern daughter of the voice of God! O Duty! if that name thou love Who art a light to guide, a rod To check the erring and reprove.
William Wordsworth
On a fair prospect some have looked, And felt, as I have heard them say, As if the moving time had been A thing as steadfast as the scene On which they gazed themselves away.
William Wordsworth

William Wordsworth
How fast has brother followed brother, From sunshine to the sunless land!
William Wordsworth
When men change swords for ledgers, and desert The student's bower for gold, some fears unnamed I had, my Country--am I to be blamed?
William Wordsworth
Provoke The years to bring the inevitable yoke.
William Wordsworth
Heaven lies about us in our infancy.
William Wordsworth
Oh, be wise, Thou! Instructed that true knowledge leads to love.
William Wordsworth
When his veering gait And every motion of his starry train Seem governed by a strain Of music, audible to him alone.
William Wordsworth
Our birth is but a sleep and a forgetting The Soul that rises with us, our life's Star, Hath had elsewhere its setting, And cometh from afar.
William Wordsworth
The homely beauty of the good old cause Is gone
William Wordsworth
