More quotes by Lord Byron
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
Then rose from sea to sky the wild farewell Then shriek'd the timid, and stood still the brave, Then some leap'd overboard with fearful yell, As eager to anticipate their grave.
Lord Byron
And what is writ is writ - / Would it were worthier!
Lord Byron
Think you, if Laura had been Petrarch's wife, He would have written sonnets all his life?.
Lord Byron
In hope to merit heaven by making earth a hell.
Lord Byron
Father of Light! great God of Heaven! Hear'st thou the accents of despair? Can guilt like man's be e'er forgiven? Can vice atone for crimes by prayer.
Lord Byron
I stood among them, but not of them: in a shroud of thoughts which were not their thoughts.
Lord Byron
Oh that the desert were my dwelling-place, With one fair spirit for my minister
Lord Byron
The reading or non-reading a book will never keep down a single petticoat.
Lord Byron
I am surrounded here by parsons and methodists, but as you will see, not infested with the mania.
Lord Byron
The light of love, the purity of grace, The mind, the Music breathing from her face, The heart whose softness harmonised the whole — And, oh! that eye was in itself a Soul!
Lord Byron
Man is a carnivorous production, And must have meals, at least one meal a day He cannot live, like woodcocks, upon suction, But, like the shark and tiger, must have prey Although his anatomical construction Bears vegetables, in a grumbling way, Your laboring people think beyond all question, Beef, veal, and mutton better for digestion.
Lord Byron
The world is a bundle of hay, Mankind are the asses that pull, Each tugs in a different way And the greatest of all is John Bull!
Lord Byron
Few things surpass old wine and they may preach Who please, the more because they preach in vain
Lord Byron
Like to the apples on the Dead Sea's shore, All ashes to the taste.
Lord Byron
We of the craft are all crazy.
Lord Byron
He learned the arts of riding, fencing, gunnery, And how to scale a fortress - or a nunnery.
Lord Byron
The law of heaven and earth is life for life.
Lord Byron
Send me no more reviews of any kind. I will read no more of evil or good in that line. Walter Scott has not read a review of himself for thirteen years .
Lord Byron
But at sixteen the conscience rarely gnaws So much, as when we call our old debts in At sixty years, and draw the accounts of evil, And find a deuced balance with the devil.
Lord Byron
