More quotes by Lord Byron

Image
But as to women, who can penetrate the real sufferings of their she condition? Man's very sympathy with their estate has much of selfishness and more suspicion. Their love, their virtue, beauty, education, but form good housekeepers, to breed a nation.
Lord Byron
Image
Perhaps the early grave Which men weep over may be meant to save.
Lord Byron
Image
And those who saw, it did surprise, Such drops could fall from human eyes.
Lord Byron
Image
Think'st thou existence doth depend on time? It doth but actions are our epochs.
Lord Byron
Image
Grieving, if aught inanimate e'er grieves, Over the unreturning brave.
Lord Byron
Image
The stars are forth, the moon above the tops Of the snow-shining mountains--beautiful! I linger yet with nature, for the night Hath been to me a more familiar face Than that of man, and in her starry shade Of dim and solitary loveliness I learned the language of another world.
Lord Byron
Image
Socrates said, our only knowledge was To know that nothing could be known a pleasant Science enough, which levels to an ass Each Man of Wisdom, future, past, or present. Newton, (that Proverb of the Mind,) alas! Declared, with all his grand discoveries recent, That he himself felt only like a youth Picking up shells by the great Ocean-Truth.
Lord Byron
Image
Truth is a gem that is found at a great depth whilst on the surface of the world all things are weighed by the false scale of custom.
Lord Byron
Image
My turn of mind is so given to taking things in the absurd point of view, that it breaks out in spite of me every now and then.
Lord Byron
Image
All Heaven and Earth are still, though not in sleep, But breathless, as we grow when feeling most.
Lord Byron
Image
The premises are so delightfully extensive, that two people might live together without ever seeing, hearing or meeting.
Lord Byron
Image
Oh who can tell, save he whose heart hath tried.
Lord Byron
Image
The 'good old times' - all times when old are good.
Lord Byron
Image
With flowing tail and flying mane, Wide nostrils never stretched by pain, Mouth bloodless to bit or rein, And feet that iron never shod, And flanks unscar'd by spur or rod, A thousand horses - the wild - the free - Like waves that follow o'er the sea, Came thickly thundering on.
Lord Byron
Image
But there are wanderers o'er Eternity Whose bark drives on and on, and anchor'd ne'er shall be.
Lord Byron
Image
You gave me the key to your heart, my love, then why did you make me knock?
Lord Byron
Image
One certainly has a soul but how it came to allow itself to be enclosed in a body is more than I can imagine.
Lord Byron
Image
Venice once was dear, The pleasant place of all festivity, The revel of the earth, the masque of Italy.
Lord Byron
Image
What is the worst of woes that wait on age? What stamps the wrinkle deeper on the brow? To view each loved one blotted from life's page, And be alone on earth, as I am now.
Lord Byron
Image
This quiet sail is as a noiseless wing To waft me from distraction.
Lord Byron
