Quotes by : Alfred Lord Tennyson

No man ever got very high by pulling other people down. The intelligent merchant does not knock his competitors.....

Man comes and tills the field and lies beneath And after many a summer dieth the swan.

God's finger touched him, and he slept.

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

A lie which is half a truth is ever the blackest of lies.

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 one to sovereign power.

A smile abroad is often a scowl at home.

We cannot be kind to each other here for even an hour. We whisper, and hint, and chuckle and grin at....

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