Soft Portion

Famous quotes containing the words soft and/or portion:

“Year after year beheld the silent toil
That spread his lustrous coil;
Still as the spiral grew,
He left the past year’s dwelling for the new,
Stole with soft step its shining archway through,
Built up its idle door,
Stretched in his last-found home, and knew the old no more.”
—Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. (1809–1894)

“That best portion of a good man’s life;
His little, nameless, unremembered acts
Of kindness and of love.”
—William Wordsworth (1770–1850)
