More quotes by Lord Byron
You gave me the key to your heart, my love, then why did you make me knock?
Lord Byron
Though I love my country, I do not love my countrymen.
Lord Byron
Better to sink beneath the shock Than moulder piecemeal on the rock!
Lord Byron
So sweet the blush of bashfulness, E'en pity scarce can wish it less!
Lord Byron
There is, in fact, no law or government at all and it is wonderful how well things go on without them.
Lord Byron
What is fame? The advantage of being known by people of whom you yourself know nothing, and for whom you care as little.
Lord Byron
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
And those who saw, it did surprise, Such drops could fall from human eyes.
Lord Byron
I have no consistency, except in politics and that probably arises from my indifference to the subject altogether.
Lord Byron
If ancient tales say true, nor wrong these holy men.
Lord Byron
Lord of himself that heritage of woe!
Lord Byron
A quiet conscience makes one so serene.
Lord Byron
The great art of life is sensation, to feel that we exist, even in pain.
Lord Byron
To be perfectly original one should think much and read little, and this is impossible, for one must have read before one has learnt to think.
Lord Byron
Let us have wine and women, mirth and laughter, sermons and soda water the day after.
Lord Byron
The keenest pangs the wretched find Are rapture to the dreary void, The leafless desert of the mind, The waste of feelings unemployed.
Lord Byron
This is the patent-age of new inventions For killing bodies, and for saving souls, All propagated with the best intentions Sir Humphrey Davy's lantern, by which coals Are safely mined for in the mode he mentions, Tombuctoo travels, voyages to the Poles, Are ways to benefit mankind, as true, Perhaps, as shooting them at Waterloo.
Lord Byron
I only know we loved in vain I only feel-farewell! farewell!
Lord Byron
Men love in haste, but they detest at leisure.
Lord Byron
Farewell! if ever fondest prayer For other's weal avail'd on high, Mine will not all be lost in air, But waft thy name beyond the sky.
Lord Byron
