Or shipwrecked, kindles on the coast
More quotes by William Wordsworth
Men are we, and must grieve when even the Shade
Of that which once was great, is passed away.
The light that never was, on sea or land,
The consecration, and the poet's dream.
Three sleepless nights I passed in sounding on,
Through words and things, a dim and perilous way.

False words are not only evil in themselves, but they infect the soul with evil.
It is better to be poor and walk in integrity than to be stupid and speak lies.
Who dares think one thing, and another tell,
My heart detests him as the gates of hell.
