Quote of the Day (Alfred Lord Tennyson, With Appropriate Thoughts on Aging and Resolution for My Birthday)


“Tho' much is taken, much abides; and tho'
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.”—Alfred, Lord Tennyson, “Ulysses

To all my friends, thank you for the multitude of birthday wishes, which, against all the odds, help to keep me “strong in will.”
