Alfred Lord Tennyson
-
There lives more faith in honest doubt,
Believe me,
than in half the creeds.
-
The greater man the greater courtesy.
-
Cast all your cares on God; that anchor holds.
-
Believing where we cannot prove.
-
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.
-
Hope smiles on the threshold of the year to come, whispering that it will be happier.
-
The happiness of a man in this life does not consist in the absence but in the mastery of his passions.
-
'Tis better to have loved and lost
Than never to have loved at all.
-
I hold it true, whate'er befall;
I feel it, when I sorrow most;
'Tis better to have loved and lost
Than never to have loved at all.
-
I am a part of all I have seen.
-
Ah, what shall I be at fifty,
should nature keep me alive,
if I find the world so bitter
when I am but twenty-five?
-
For I dipped into the future, as far as human eye could see, saw a vision of the world, and all the wonder that would be.
-
...For the unquiet heart and brain,
A use in measured language lies.
-
Knowledge comes, but wisdom lingers.
