Alfred Lord Tennyson
Thoroughly to believe in one's own self, so one's self were thorough, were to do great things.
Alfred Lord Tennyson
I the heir of all the ages, in the foremost files of time.

There is sweet music here that softer falls Than petals from blown roses on the grass.
Alfred Lord Tennyson
He will hold thee, when his passion shall have spent its novel force, Something better than his dog, a little dearer than his horse.
Alfred Lord Tennyson
It is unconceivable that the whole Universe was merely created for us who live in this third-rate planet of a third-rate moon.
