William Wordsworth

Faith is a passionate intuition.

Suffering is permanent, obscure and dark, And shares the nature of infinity.

Come forth into the light of things, let nature be your teacher.

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.

Nature never did betray the heart that loved her.

For I have learned to look on nature, not as in the hour of thoughtless youth, but hearing oftentimes the still, sad music of humanity.

The human mind is capable of excitement without the application of gross and violent stimulants; and he must have a very faint perception of its beauty and dignity who does not know this.

A multitude of causes unknown to former times are now acting with a combined force to blunt the discriminating powers of the mind, and unfitting it for all voluntary exertion to reduce it to a state of almost savage torpor.

The mind that is wise mourns less for what age takes away; than what it leaves behind.

But an old age serene and bright, and lovely as a Lapland night, shall lead thee to thy grave.

In modern business it is not the crook who is to be feared most, it is the honest man who doesn't know what he is doing.
