Results from Classic Quotes:

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.: William Wordsworth (1770 - 1850)
Deep is a wounded heart, and strong A voice that cries against a mighty wrong; And full of death as a hot wind's blight, Doth the ire of a crushed affection light.: Felicia Hermans
She is not fair to outward view As many maidens be; Her loveliness I never knew Until she smiled on me; Oh! then I saw her eye was bright, A well of love, a spring of light.: Hartley Coleridge
Cowards are cruel, but the brave Love mercy, and delight to save.: John Gay (1685 - 1732)

She was a phantom of delight When first she gleam'd upon my sight; A lovely apparition, sent To be a moment's ornament.: William Wordsworth (1770 - 1850)
Cease, every joy, to glimmer on my mind, But leave---oh! leave the light of Hope behind.: Thomas Campbell (1777 - 1844)

To all, to each, a fair good night, And pleasing dreams, and slumbers light.: Sir Walter Scott (1771 - 1832)
It was once said that the moral test of Government is how that Government treats those who are in the dawn of life, the children; those who are in the twilight of life, the elderly; and those who are in the shadows of life, the sick, the needy and the handicapped.: Hubert H. Humphrey (1911 - 1978)
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to heaven, we were all going direct the other way - in short, the period was so far like the present period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only.: Charles Dickens (1812 - 1870), A Tale of Two Cities
Men fear thought as they fear nothing else on earth -- more than ruin -- more even than death.... Thought is subversive and revolutionary, destructive and terrible, thought is merciless to privilege, established institutions, and comfortable habit. Thought looks into the pit of hell and is not afraid. Thought is great and swift and free, the light of the world, and the chief glory of man.: Bertrand Russell (1872 - 1970)
- More quotations on: [Intelligence]
