More quotes by 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
Champagne with its foaming whirls/As white as Cleopatra's pearls.
Lord Byron
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
Ye stars! which are the poetry of heaven!
Lord Byron

Lord Byron
Fame is the thirst of youth.
Lord Byron
The devil was the first democrat
Lord Byron
Man marks the earth with ruin - his control stops with the shore.
Lord Byron
Fills The air around with beauty.
Lord Byron
And dreams in their development have breath, And tears, and tortures, and the touch of joy They have a weight upon our waking thoughts, They take a weight from off our waking toils, They do divide our being.
Lord Byron
There is no passion, more spectral or fantastical than hate, not even its opposite, love, so peoples air, with phantoms, as this madness of the heart.
Lord Byron
Constancy... that small change of love, which people exact so rigidly, receive in such counterfeit coin, and repay in baser metal.
Lord Byron
Eternity forbids thee to forget.
Lord Byron
Lord of himself that heritage of woe!
Lord Byron
Oh, talk not to me of a name great in story The days of our youth are the days of our glory And the myrtle and ivy of sweet two-and-twenty Are worth all your laurels, though ever so plenty.
Lord Byron
History - the devil's scripture
Lord Byron
If ancient tales say true, nor wrong these holy men.
Lord Byron
The truly brave are soft of heart and eyes, and feel for what their duty bids them do.
Lord Byron
The reading or non-reading a book will never keep down a single petticoat.
Lord Byron
The poetry of speech.
Lord Byron
