Alfred Tennyson20 quotes
Tis better to have loved and lost
Than never to have loved at all. — Alfred Tennyson · 1850Knowledge comes, but wisdom lingers. — Alfred Tennyson · 1842Let the great world spin for ever down the ringing grooves of change. — Alfred Tennyson · 1842But, friend, to me
He is all fault who hath no fault at all:
For who loves me must have a touch of earth. — Alfred Tennyson · 1859I sometimes hold it half a sin
To put in words the grief I feel;
For words, like Nature, half reveal
And half conceal the Soul within. — Alfred Tennyson · 1850That 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. — Alfred Tennyson · 1842All 20 quotes →
