More quotes by Matthew Arnold
Nature, with equal mind,
Sees all her sons at play
Sees man control the wind,
The wind sweep man away.
And that sweet city with her dreaming spires,
She needs not June for beauty’s heightening.
Peace, peace is what I seek, and public calm,
Endless extinction of unhappy hates.

In the fields of observation chance favors only the prepared mind.
Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon 'em.
O Fortune, cruellest of heavenly powers,
Why make such game of this poor life of ours?
