Simple Complete

Famous quotes containing the words simple and/or complete:

    The thought of our past years in me doth breed
    Perpetual benediction: not indeed

    Of Childhood, whether busy or at rest,
    With new-fledged hope still fluttering in his breast:—
    William Wordsworth (1770–1850)
