“And down I went to fetch my bride:
But, Alice, you were ill at ease;
This dress and that by turns you tried,
Too fearful that you should not please.
I loved you better for your fears,
I knew you could not look but well;
And dews, that would have fall'n in tears,
I kiss'd away before they fell.”
― Alfred Lord Tennyson

“But I also realize that winning doesn't always mean getting first place; it means getting the best out of yourself. One of my greatest joys is inspiring other people to perform at their best.”
― Meb Keflezighi, Run to Overcome: The Inspiring Story of an American Champion's Long-Distance Quest to Achieve a Big Dream

“Sometimes the heart sees what's invisible to the eye.”
― Tennyson

“Willows whiten, aspens quiver, little breezes dusk and shiver, thro' the wave that runs forever by the island in the river, flowing down to Camelot. Four gray walls and four gray towers, overlook a space of flowers, and the silent isle imbowers, the Lady of Shalott.”
― Alfred Tennyson Tennyson, Selected Poems of Alfred Lord Tennyson
