Quotes by Alfred Lord Tennyson

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

Men at most differ as Heaven and Earth, but women, worst and best, as Heaven and Hell.

Knowledge comes, but wisdom lingers.

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

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

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

My strength has the strength of ten because my heart is pure.

A smile abroad is often a scowl at home.

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

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