More quotes by William Wordsworth

William Wordsworth
Pansies, lilies, kingcups, daisies, Let them live upon their praises.
William Wordsworth
Habit rules the unreflecting herd.
William Wordsworth
Open-mindedness is the harvest of a quiet eye.
William Wordsworth
May books and nature be their early joy!
William Wordsworth
She gave me eyes, she gave me ears And humble cares, and delicate fears A heart, the fountain of sweet tears And love and thought and joy.
William Wordsworth
Be mild, and cleave to gentle things, thy glory and thy happiness be there.
William Wordsworth
That to this mountain-daisy's self were known The beauty of its star-shaped shadow, thrown On the smooth surface of this naked stone!
William Wordsworth

William Wordsworth
That inward eye/ Which is the bliss of solitude.
William Wordsworth
For by superior energies more strict affiance in each other faith more firm in their unhallowed principles, the bad have fairly earned a victory over the weak, the vacillating, inconsistent good.
William Wordsworth

William Wordsworth
In that sweet mood when pleasure loves to pay Tribute to ease and, of its joy secure, The heart luxuriates with indifferent things, Wasting its kindliness on stocks and stones, And on the vacant air.
William Wordsworth
And I am happy when I sing.
William Wordsworth
Though nothing can bring back the hour Of splendour in the grass, of glory in the flower.
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
Oh for a single hour of that Dundee Who on that day the word of onset gave!
William Wordsworth
A man he seems of cheerful yesterdays And confident tomorrows.
William Wordsworth
I am already kindly disposed towards you. My friendship it is not in my power to give: this is a gift which no man can make, it is not in our own power: a sound and healthy friendship is the growth of time and circumstance, it will spring up and thrive like a wildflower when these favour, and when they do not, it is in vain to look for it.
William Wordsworth
We live by admiration, hope and love.
William Wordsworth
