Alfred Lord Tennyson

Alfred Lord Tennyson
if you don't concentrate on what you are doing then the thing that you are doing is not what you are thinking.
Alfred Lord Tennyson
The greater man the greater courtesy.

I envy not in any moods The captive void of noble rage, The linnet born within the cage, That never knew the summer woods.
