Alfred Lord Tennyson Quotes

The happiness of a man in this life does not consist in the absence but in the mastery of his passions.

Tags:

Forgive my grief for one removed

Thy creature whom I found so fair

I trust he lives in Thee and there

I find him worthier to be loved.

Tags: grief

Yet all experience is an arch wherethrough

Gleams that untraveled world whose margin fades

Forever and forever when I move.

How dull it is to pause, to make an end,

To rust unburnished, not to shine in use!

As though to breathe were life!

I came in haste with cursing breath,

And heart of hardest steel;

But when I saw thee cold in death,

I felt as man should feel.

For when I look upon that face,

That cold, unheeding, frigid brown,

Where neither rage nor fear has place,

By Heaven! I cannot hate thee now!

Tags: death hatred poetry

No man ever got very high by pulling other people down. The intelligent merchant does not knock his competitors. The sensible worker does not work those who who work with him. Don't knock your friends. Don't knock your enemies. Don't knock yourself.

Theirs not to reason why,

Theirs but to do and die

Dear as remembered kisses after death,

And sweet as those by hopeless fancy feign'd

On lips that are for others; deep as love,

Deep as first love, and wild with all regret;

O Death in Life, the days that are no more!

Tags: death love regret

Tis better to have loved and lost

Than never to have loved at all.

Let me go: take back thy gift:

Why should a man desire in any way

To vary from the kindly race of men,

Or pass beyond the goal of ordinance

Where all should pause, as is most meet for all?

...Why wilt thou ever scare me with thy tears,

And make me tremble lest a saying learnt,

In days far-off, on that dark earth, be true?

Though much is taken, much abides; and though

We are not now that strength which in old days

Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are;

One equal temper of heroic hearts,

Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will

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

Tags: heroism poetry ulysses

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