What is fame? The advantage of being known by people of whom you yourself know nothing, and for whom you care as little.

Image
A pretty woman is a welcome guest.
Lord Byron
Image
My altars are the mountains and the ocean.
Lord Byron
Image
I have had, and may have still, a thousand friends, as they are called, in life, who are like one's partners in the waltz of this world -not much remembered when the ball is over.
Lord Byron
Image
Who then will explain the explanation?
Lord Byron
Image
It is when we think we lead that we are most led.
Lord Byron
Image
Fools are my theme, let satire be my song.
Lord Byron
Image
Letter writing is the only device combining solitude with good company.
Lord Byron
Image
A thirst for gold, The beggar's vice, which can but overwhelm The meanest hearts.
Lord Byron
Image
Now I shall go to sleep. Goodnight.
Lord Byron
Image
The devil hath not, in all his quiver's choice, An arrow for the heart like a sweet voice.
Lord Byron
Image
Do proper homage to thine idol's eyes But no too humbly, or she will despise Thee and thy suit, though told in moving tropes: Disguise even tenderness if thou art wise.
Lord Byron
Image
Years steal fire from the mind as vigor from the limb and life's enchanted cup but sparkles near the brim.
Lord Byron
Image
...And these vicissitudes come best in youth For when they happen at a riper age, People are apt to blame the Fates, forsooth, And wonder Providence is not more sage. Adversity is the first path to truth: He who hath proved war, storm, or woman's rage, Whether his winters be eighteen or eighty, Has won experience which is deem'd so weighty.
Lord Byron
Image
And I would hear yet once before I perish The voice which was my music... Speak to me!
Lord Byron
Image
Religion-freedom-vengeance-what you will, A word's enough to raise mankind to kill.
Lord Byron
Image
There is something to me very softening in the presence of a woman, some strange influence, even if one is not in love with them, which I cannot at all account for, having no very high opinion of the sex. But yet, I always feel in better humor with myself and every thing else, if there is a woman within ken.
Lord Byron
Image
I am surrounded here by parsons and methodists, but as you will see, not infested with the mania.
Lord Byron
Image
We are all the fools of time and terror: Days Steal on us and steal from us yet we live, Loathing our life, and dreading still to die.
Lord Byron
Image
I have great hopes that we shall love each other all our lives as much as if we had never married at all.
Lord Byron
Image
And then he danced,-all foreigners excel the serious Angels in the eloquence of pantomime-he danced, I say, right well, with emphasis, and a'so with good sense-a thing in footing indispensable: he danced without theatrical pretence, not like a ballet-master in the van of his drill'd nymphs, but like a gentleman.
Lord Byron
