Quotes by Alfred Lord Tennyson
Poet Laureate of Great Britain and Ireland during much of Queen Victoria's reign and remains one of the most popular British poets. August 6, 1809 - October 6, 1892
Ours is not to wonder why. Ours is just to do or die
I cannot rest from travel; I will drink Life to the lees
I must lose myself in action, lest I wither in despair
For men may come and men may go, but I go on forever...
Life is brief but love is LONG
So sad, so fresh the days that are no more
The shell must break before the bird can fly
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield
More things are wrought by prayer than this world dreams of
Dreams are true while they last, and do we not live in dreams?
Knowledge comes, but wisdom lingers
'Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all
