- Quotes by William Wordsworth
“The holy time is quiet as a nun, Breathless with adoration. And ’tis my faith that every flower, Enjoy the air it breathes”. - Quotes by Mary Wollstonecraft
“It is the preservation of the species, not of individuals, which appears to be the design of Deity throughout the whole of nature”. - Quotes by Walter Whitman
“I could turn and live awhile with the animals…they are so placid and self-contained, I stand and look at them sometimes half the day long. They do not sweat and whine about their condition, They do not lie awake in the dark and weep for theirsins, They do not make me sick discussing their duty to God, Not one is dissatisfied…not one is demented with the mania of knowing things, Not one kneels to another nor to his kind that lived thousands of years ago, Not one is respectable or industrious over the whole earth. Give me the splendid silent sun with all his beams full-dazzling. Whereto answering, the sea, Delaying not, hurrying not, Whispered me through the night, and very plainly before daybreak, Lisped to me low and delicious word death”.
- Quoters by Isaac Watts
“Let dogs delight to bark bite, For God hath made them so; Let bears and lions growl and fight, For ’tis their nature to”.
