Alfred Lord Tennyson

God’s finger touched him, and he slept…

A lie which is half a truth is ever the blackest of lies…

A sorrow’s crown of sorrow is remembering happier times…

The happiness of a man in this life does not consist in the absence but…

Self-reverence, self-knowledge, self-control these three alone lead one to sovereign power…

A smile abroad is often a scowl at home…

Who is wise in love, love most, say least…

Knowledge comes, but wisdom lingers…

There lives more faith in honest doubt, believe me, than in half the creeds…

My strength has the strength of ten because my heart is pure…

Dreams are true while they last, and do we not live in dreams…

Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all…

Words, like nature, half reveal and half conceal the soul within…

And out of darkness came the hands that reach thro’ nature, moulding men…

Men at most differ as Heaven and Earth, but women, worst and best, as Heaven…
