Alfred Lord Tennyson quotes

'Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.

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

All experience is an arch wherethrough gleams that untravelled world whose margin fades for ever and for ever when I move.

Knowledge comes, but wisdom lingers.

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

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

Ring out the false, ring in the true.

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

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

Self-reverence, self-knowledge, self-control; these three alone lead life to sovereign power.

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

Knowledge comes, but wisdom lingers.

God's finger touched him, and he slept.

And out of darkness came the hands that reach thro' nature, moulding men.

A smile abroad is often a scowl at home.

Let the great world spin for ever down the ringing grooves of change.

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.

And out of darkness came the hands that reach thro' nature, moulding men.

Hope smiles from the threshold of the year to come, whispering, 'It will be happier.'

Hope smiles from the threshold of the year to come, whispering, 'It will be happier.'

Love is the only gold.

Self-reverence, self-knowledge, self-control; these three alone lead life to sovereign power.

Let the great world spin for ever down the ringing grooves of change.
