London, UK…Alfred Tennyson, 1st Baron Tennyson FRS, 6 August 1809 – 6 October 1892.

“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.”

“Theirs not to reason why, theirs but to do and die.”

“Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.”

“If I had a flower for every time I thought of you… I could walk through my garden forever.”

“Knowledge comes, but wisdom lingers.”

“A lie that is half-truth is the darkest of all lies.”

“I am a part of all that I have met.”

“Better not be at all than not be noble.”

“No man ever got very high by pulling other people down. The intelligent merchant does not knock his competitors. The sensible worker does not knock those who work with him. Don’t knock your friends. Don’t knock your enemies. Don’t knock yourself.”

“Who are wise in love, love most, say least.”

“Nor is it wiser to weep a true occasion lost, but trim our sails, and let old bygones be.”
