560 Quotes by Alfred Lord Tennyson

The noonday quiet holds the hill.

Ah, when shall all men's good Be each man's rule, and universal peace Lie like a shaft of light across the land, And like a lane of beams athwart the sea, Thro' all the circle of the golden year?

A still small voice spake unto me, 'Thou art so full of misery, Were it not better not to be?

. . . More things are wrought by prayer Than this world dreams of. Wherefore let thy voice Rise like a fountain for me night and day. For what are men better than sheeps or goats That nourish a blind life within the brain, If, knowing God, they lift not hands of prayer Not only for themselves but for those who call them friend? For so this whole round earth is every way Bound by gold chains about the feet of God.

So many worlds, so much to do, so little done, such things to be.

In time there is no present, In eternity no future, In eternity no past.

The white flower of a blameless life.

Sweet is true love, though given in vain.
