Additional quotes by Alfred Tennyson

No sound is breathed so potent to coerce And to conciliate, as their names who dare For that sweet mother-land which gave them birth Nobly to do, nobly to die.

And sometimes through the mirror blue
The knights come riding two and two.

Nor is he the wisest man who never proved himself a fool.

To follow knowledge like a sinking star, Beyond the utmost bound of human thought. - Alfred Tennyson
