Alfred Lord Tennyson

"HopeSmiles from the threshold of the year to come, Whispering 'it will be happier'..."

"Knowledge comes, but wisdom lingers."

"Love is the only gold."

"If I had a flower for every time I thought of you...I could walk through my garden forever."

"I remainMistress of mine own self and mine own soul"

"The shell must break before the bird can fly."

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

"Let me go: take back thy gift:Why should a man desire in any wayTo vary from the kindly race of men,Or pass beyond the goal of ordinanceWhere 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?‘The Gods themselves cannot recall their gifts.’- Tithonus"

"Tears, idle tears, I know not what they mean, Tears from the depths of some devine despairRise in the heart, and gather to the eyes, In looking on the happy autumn fields, And thinking of the days that are no more."

"Knowledge comes, but wisdom lingers."

"Tears, idle tears, I know not what they mean, Tears from the depths of some devine despairRise in the heart, and gather to the eyes, In looking on the happy autumn fields, And thinking of the days that are no more."

"HopeSmiles from the threshold of the year to come, Whispering 'it will be happier'..."

"HopeSmiles from the threshold of the year to come, Whispering 'it will be happier'..."

"Come friends, it's not too late to seek a newer world."

"Come friends, it's not too late to seek a newer world."

"But thy strong Hours indignant work’d their wills,And beat me down and marr’d and wasted me,And tho’ they could not end me, left me maim’dTo dwell in presence of immortal youth,Immortal age beside immortal youth,And all I was, in ashes. - Tithonus"

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

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