Pictures deface walls more often than they decorate them. – William Wordsworth
When from our better selves we have too long been parted by the hurrying world, and droop. Sick of its business, of its pleasures tired, how gracious, how benign is solitude. – William Wordsworth

Wisdom is ofttimes nearer when we stoop than when we soar. – William Wordsworth
