The happiness of a man in this life does not consist in the absence but in the mastery of his passions.
Alfred Lord TennysonThoroughly to believe in one's own self, so one's self were thorough, were to do great things.
Alfred Lord TennysonAnd so the Word had breath, and wrought With human hands the creed of creeds In loveliness of perfect deeds, More strong than all poetic thoughts; Which he may read that binds the sheaf, Or builds the house, or digs the grave, And those wild eyes that watch the waves In roarings round the coral reef.
Alfred Lord Tennyson
