Additional quotes by William Wordsworth

Life is divided into three terms - that which was, which is, and which will be. Let us learn from the past to profit by the present, and from the present, to live better in the future.

Surprised by joy—impatient as the Wind.

Action is transitory—a step, a blow— The motion of a muscle—this way or that— 'Tis done; and in the after-vacancy We wonder at ourselves like men betrayed.

More skillful in self-knowledge, even more pure, As tempted more; more able to endure, As more exposed to suffering and distress. - William Wordsworth
