Alfred Lord Tennyson
There rolls the deep where grew the tree. O earth, what changes hast thou seen! There where the long street roars, hath been The stillness of the central sea.

Alfred Lord Tennyson
Cast all your cares on God that anchor holds.
Alfred Lord Tennyson
Though much is taken, much abides and though We are not now that strength which in old days Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are One equal temper of heroic hearts, Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.
Alfred Lord Tennyson
Her eyes are homes of silent prayers.
Alfred Lord Tennyson
Faith lives in honest doubt.
Alfred Lord Tennyson
The jingling of the guinea helps the hurt that Honor feels.

Love is hurt with jar and fret Love is made a vague regret.
