Alfred, Lord Tennyson Quotes and Quotations
He makes no friend who never made a foe. The happiness of a man in this life does not consist in the absence but in the mastery of his passions. Self-reverence, self-knowledge, self-control - these three alone lead to sovereign power. Sleep - kinsman thou to death and trance and madness. Knowledge comes, but wisdom lingers. 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. Faith is believing what we cannot prove. What's up is faith, what's down is heresy. More things are wrought by prayer than this world dreams of. Self-reverence, self-knowledge, self-control. These three alone lead to sovereign power. The old order changeth yielding place to new, and God fulfills himself in many ways. I myself must mix with action, lest I wither by despair. Theirs is not to reason why, theirs is but to do or die. Theirs is not to reason why, theirs is but to do or die. He is all fault who hath no fault at all. For who loves me must have a touch of earth. We shall live to fight again, and to strike another blow. To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.
