Familiar Quotations: Tennyson

AuthorQuotation

Lord Alfred Tennyson

Faith lives in honest doubt.
A day may sink or save a realm.
Authority forgets a dying king.
Either sex alone is half itself.
By blood a king, in heart a clown.
Trust me not at all, or all in all.
A louse in the locks of literature.
Her eyes are homes of silent prayers.
The greater person is one of courtesy.
God's finger touched him and he slept.
