Let observation with extended observation observe extensively.
Alfred Lord Tennyson

The time draws near the birth of Christ The moon is hid the night is still The Christmas bells from hill to hill Answer each other in the mist.
Alfred Lord Tennyson
I do but sing because I must and pipe but as the linnets sing.
Alfred Lord Tennyson
He that wrongs a friend Wrongs himself more, and ever bears about A silent court of justice in his breast, Himself the judge and jury, and himself The prisoner at the bar ever condemned.

Faith and unfaith can ne'er be equal powers Unfaith is aught is want of faith in all.

Better not be at all than not be noble.
