Best Quotes by William Wordsworth

“Fill your paper with the breathings of your heart.”

“Habit rules the unreflecting herd.”

“Love betters what is best.”

“Our birth is but a sleep and a forgetting:
The soul that rises with us, our life’s star,
Hath had elsewhere its setting.
And cometh from afar:
Not in entire forgetfulness,
And not in utter nakedness,
But trailing clouds of glory do we come
From God, who is our home:
Heaven lies about us in our infancy!”

“To begin, begin.”
