There's naught, no doubt, so much the spirit calms as rum and true religion.

More quotes by Lord Byron

Image
But 'midst the crowd, the hum, the shock of men, To hear, to see, to feel, and to possess, And roam along, the world's tired denizen, With none who bless us, none whom we can bless.
Lord Byron
Image
It is not one man nor a million, but the spirit of liberty that must be preserved. The waves which dash upon the shore are, one by one, broken, but the ocean conquers nevertheless. It overwhelms the Armada, it wears out the rock. In like manner, whatever the struggle of individuals, the great cause will gather strength.
Lord Byron
Image
I have a great mind to believe in Christianity for the mere pleasure of fancying I may be damned.
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
Champagne with its foaming whirls/As white as Cleopatra's pearls.
Lord Byron
Image
Knowledge is not happiness, and science But an exchange of ignorance for that Which is another kind of ignorance.
Lord Byron
Image
Bologna is celebrated for producing popes, painters, and sausage.
Lord Byron
Image
A timid mind is apt to mistake every scratch for a mortal wound.
Lord Byron
Image
But what is Hope? Nothing but the paint on the face of Existence the least touch of truth rubs it off, and then we see what a hollow-cheeked harlot we have got hold of.
Lord Byron
Image
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
Image
America is a model of force and freedom and moderation - with all the coarseness and rudeness of its people.
Lord Byron
Image
'Tis pleasant, sure, to see one's name in print. A book's a book, although there's nothing in 't.
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
Image
For the night Shows stars and women in a better light.
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
Man, being reasonable, must get drunk the best of life is but intoxication.
Lord Byron
Image
And those who saw, it did surprise, Such drops could fall from human eyes.
Lord Byron
Image
When age chills the blood, when our pleasures are past - For years fleet away with the wings of the dove - The dearest remembrance will still be the last, Our sweetest memorial the first kiss of love.
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
Eternal Spirit of the chainless Mind! Brightest in dungeons, Liberty! thou art, For there thy habitation is the heart-- The heart which love of thee alone can bind And when thy sons to fetters are consign'd-- To fetters and damp vault's dayless gloom, Their country conquers with their martyrdom.
Lord Byron
