I came to realize clearly that the mind is no other than the Mountain and the Rivers and the great wide Earth, the Sun and the Moon and the Sky”.
Lord Byron
Image
Send me no more reviews of any kind. I will read no more of evil or good in that line. Walter Scott has not read a review of himself for thirteen years .
Lord Byron
Image
The waves were dead the tides were in their grave, The moon, their mistress, had expir'd before The winds were wither'd in the stagnant air, And the clouds perish'd Darkness had no need Of aid from them-She was the Universe.
Lord Byron
Image
If a man proves too clearly and convincingly to himself...that a tiger is an optical illusion--well, he will find out he is wrong. The tiger will himself intervene in the discussion, in a manner which will be in every sense conclusive.
Lord Byron
Image
The Coach does not play in the game, but the Coach helps the players identify areas to improve their game.
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
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
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
America is a model of force and freedom and moderation - with all the coarseness and rudeness of its people.
Lord Byron
Image
Man is in part divine, A troubled stream from a pure source.
Lord Byron
Image
Then stirs the feeling infinite, so felt In solitude, where we are least alone.
Lord Byron
Image
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
Image
No words suffice the secret soul to show, For truth denies all eloquence to woe.
Lord Byron
Image
Oh Rome! My country! City of the soul!
Lord Byron
Image
Prolonged endurance tames the bold.
Lord Byron
Image
Come what may, I have been blest.
Lord Byron
Image
Had sigh'd to many, though he loved but one.
Lord Byron
Image
You gave me the key to your heart, my love, then why did you make me knock?
Lord Byron
Image
I only know we loved in vain I only feel-farewell! farewell!
Lord Byron

Fills The air around with beauty.
