William Wordsworth

William Wordsworth
Image
To character and success, two things, contradictory as they may seem, must go together... humble dependence on God and manly reliance on self.
William Wordsworth
Image
There is a luxury in self-dispraise And inward self-disparagement affords To meditative spleen a grateful feast.
