Scion of chiefs and monarchs, where art thou? Fond hope of many nations, art thou dead? Could not the grave forget thee, and lay low Some less majestic, less beloved head?
Lord Byron
Image
O Fame! if I ever took delight in thy praises, Twas less for the sake of thy high-sounding phrases, Than to see the bright eyes of the dear one discover The thought that I was not unworthy to love her.
Lord Byron
Image
Let no man grumble when his friends fall off, As they will do like leaves at the first breeze When your affairs come round, one way or t'other, Go to the coffee house, and take another.
Lord Byron
Image
It is when we think we lead that we are most led.
Lord Byron
Image
The Christian has greatly the advantage of the unbeliever, having everything to gain and nothing to lose.
Lord Byron
Image
There's naught, no doubt, so much the spirit calms as rum and true religion.
Lord Byron
Image
He who grown aged in this world of woe, In deeds, not years, piercing the depths of life, So that no wonder waits him.
Lord Byron
Image
To chase the glowing hours with flying feet.
Lord Byron

Books, Manuals, Directives, Regulations. The geometries that circumscribe your working life draw norrower and norrower until nothing fits inside them anymore.
Lord Byron
Image
Hatred is the madness of the heart.
Lord Byron
Image
I am never long, even in the society of her I love, without yearning for the company of my lamp and my library.
Lord Byron
Image
And dreams in their development have breath, And tears, and tortures, and the touch of joy They have a weight upon our waking thoughts, They take a weight from off our waking toils, They do divide our being.
Lord Byron
Image
Oh, Mirth and Innocence! Oh, Milk and Water! Ye happy mixture of more happy days!
Lord Byron
Image
Out of chaos God made a world, and out of high passions comes a people.
Lord Byron
Image
Go let thy less than woman's hand Assume the distaff not the brand.
Lord Byron
Image
The reason that adulation is not displeasing is that, though untrue, it shows one to be of consequence enough, in one way or other, to induce people to lie.
Lord Byron
Image
Romances I ne'er read like those I have seen.
Lord Byron
Image
Yet I did love thee to the last, As ferverently as thou, Who didst not change through all the past, And canst not alter now.
Lord Byron
Image
This man is freed from servile bands, Of hope to rise, or fear to fall Lord of himself, though not of lands, And leaving nothing, yet hath all.
Lord Byron
Image
The great art of life is sensation, to feel that we exist, even in pain.
Lord Byron
