Alfred Lord Tennyson

Better not be at all than not be noble.

To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.

A sorrow's crown of sorrow is remembering happier times.

By blood a king, in heart a clown.

My strength is as the strength of ten, because my heart is pure.

God's finger touched him, and he slept.

Theirs is not to make reply: Theirs is not to reason why: Theirs is but to do and die.

I am a part of all that I have met.

In the long years liker they must grow; The man be more of woman, she of man.

What rights are those that dare not resist for them?

The Gods themselves cannot recall their gifts.

There's no glory like those who save their country.

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

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

We cannot be kind to each other here for even an hour. We whisper, and hint, and chuckle and grin at our brother's shame; however you take it we men are a little breed.

Sin is too stupid to see beyond itself.

I the heir of all the ages, in the foremost files of time.

O earth, what changes hast thou seen!

Such a one do I remember, whom to look at was love.

The same words conceal and declare the thoughts of men.

Believe me, than in half the creeds.

Shape your heart to front the hour, but dream not that the hours will last.

A day may sink or save a realm.

Guard your roving thoughts with a jealous care, for speech is but the dealer of thoughts, and every fool can plainly read in your words what is the hour of your thoughts.

Tis not too late to seek a newer world.
