Faith is a passionate intuition.

The best portion of a good man's life is his little, nameless, unremembered acts of kindness and of love.

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; We have given our hearts away, a sordid boon!

She was a phantom of delight When first she gleam'd upon my sight; A lovely apparition, sent To be a moment's ornament.

Wisdom and spirit of the Universe! Thou soul is the eternity of thought! That giv'st to forms and images a breath And everlasting motion! Not in vain By day or star-light thus from by first dawn Of childhood didst thou intertwine for me The passions that build up our human soul, Not with the mean and vulgar works of man, But with high objects, with enduring things, With life and nature, purifying thus The elements of feeling and of thought, And sanctifying, by such discipline Both pain and fear, until we recognize A grandeur in the beatings of the heart.

I believe in the power of weakness.

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.

The child is father of the man.

That best portion of a good man's life, His little, nameless, unremembered acts of kindness and of love.

Faith is not belief without proof, but trust without reservation.

Pictures deface walls more often than they decorate them.

Golf is a day spent in a round of strenuous idleness.

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