A Bit of Wisdom from Alfred, Lord Tennyson

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."

A bit of wisdom … Supporting Criminal Ex Presidents. Convicted felons. Adjudicated Rapists is not a good look for the Republican Party …

    Indeed it is not - and yet they love him and worship him! What is wrong and why do so many have no values and no respect which they demonstrate day after day. Vote HARRIS/WALZ to return values and respect to our country. Do not lower yourselves to trump and his kind.

      Lets see, you pursue lawfare and use lawfare for your talking points to take out anyone who stands in the way of your death cult?

      Your policies show your hate for humanity, unborn humanity families, etc.

      Your perverted version of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness is all about your little needs and your Godless short life.

      Wake up!! Our imperfect country founded on perfect ideals is still the last best hope to keep the world alive.

      If you succeed in turning the US into your communist version of it you will kill the entire world.

        Our country was founded on exploiting natives and owning people as property.

          Of course slavery isn't one of the founding ideals he/she/they had in mind when posting their ignorant little diatribe judging their fellow citizens.
          But what kind of slop other than that can reasonably be expected in the commentary to an article quoting Tennyson to illiterate dotards?
          Smile..... it's a twisted little entertainment.

          We have learned the wrong in exploiting natives and owning people as property - now we need to learn how wrong donald's ideals and asperations are - for the country as well as the world.

                      How many have died in wars during Biden's reign? The Dem Death Cult wins again. How many Ukrainians, Russians, Jews, Palestinians and more.

                      We have basically had to write off shipping in Persian Gulf because of the Houties.

                      Biden has sent ships but still showed weakness so the attacks continued.

                      You forget under Obama we were told ISIS would take years to defeat. Trump let the generals do thier job and ISIS was defeated in weeks.

                      Foreign policy weakness has led to probably a million or more people dead because of Biden.

                      Giving billions to Iran has consequences and we are seeing them and yes more people are dying because of your death cult

              Hey!!! One of you brilliant Trump loyalists. Can you tell me why he has bailed on debating "low intelligence" Kamala Harris. If she's so dumb as he says, wouldn't Trump WANT TO debate her, expose her, take advantage of her lack of intelligence?

              Here, let me tell you, the real low intelligence person, why he won't debate her. BECAUSE HE IS AFRAID HE WOULD BE EXPOSED TO THE ENTIRE COUNTRY. He would shuffle out onstage, slumping, arms dangling, mouth pouting, and Kamala would clean his fuking clock.

              So Yes DonOld, it was smart of you to back out like the coward that you truly are. Remember, NOT ONE TRUMP, has EVER served in the U.S. Military Service. NOT ONE. The whole family is cowardly. The only one with balls is Ivanka. The only problem is, we see in reality what a coward you really are DonOld. The whole country, including you sheep here in Calaveras, see how cowardly you truly are. Nice move DonOld. It, the debate with Kamala, is/was a lose/lose proposition for you.
              And it fits right in with your entire life when YOU have had to make the decision. A loss, another loss, for the LOSER.
              Harris/Walz 2024. Bring America Home.
              DonOld, just move your hqs. to Moscow where you can put on your kneepads and perform fellatio on Vladamir anytime you, or he, wishes.

              Go ahead MAGAtts, please give me a good reason DonOld chickened out.
              Cluck, cluck, cluck, cluck...........Donny's a chicken, Bwaaaauuuuuuuck, Donny's a chicken.

              HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

    You DimaRats funny ignorant people. The party of the KKK 3 different times in our history and because of you we had fought against each other because your party wanted to keep their slaves and keep them in chains, whip them, lynch them and anyone who tried to help them. Now you point your ignorant crooked, disgusting fingers at the Right and call them racist as your party is attacking Jewish people and chanting to exterminate them. But you're so ignorant, so stupid, such Imbeciles and hypocrites you call the Right Nazis?
    You Socialist are dumber then a fence post, that's a cold hard fact.
    And that's something to think about....if you actually could think that is. Keep being manipulated by the corrupt media that told you all those lies about Biden being smarter then ever, being able to run around so much that he tires out his 20 to 30 year old interns , and you believed all of it? AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA YOU'RE DUMBER THEN A PILE OF 💩

      A few days before Biden dropped out Walz exited the Pres/Governor meeting and told us all that Biden was fine. What a lying sack of poo, just like Kamala and the rest of the Dem party that lied to us day after day about Biden's decline.

Walk carries a pretty hefty trans identity! He coached football, I wonder how many of his players were on the “Rag”, he’s instructed state run schools to have “ PADS” in the boys bathrooms, that’s a fact! This guy looks like a harmless “ MID-WEST”. good guy, but he is nuttier than a fruit cake!
