More quotes by Lord Byron
Men love in haste, but they detest at leisure.
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
The 'good old times' - all times when old are good.
Lord Byron
Let not his mode of raising cash seem strange, Although he fleeced the flags of every nation, For into a prime minister but change His title, and 'tis nothing but taxation.
Lord Byron
There is music in all things, if men had ears.
Lord Byron
In solitude, when we are least alone.
Lord Byron
Though I love my country, I do not love my countrymen.
Lord Byron
Near this spot are deposited the remains of one who possessed beauty without vanity, strength without insolence, courage without ferocity, and all the virtues of man, without his vices. This praise, which would be unmeaning flattery if inscribed over human ashes, is but a just tribute to the memory of Botswain, a dog.
Lord Byron
The devil was the first democrat
Lord Byron
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
Religion-freedom-vengeance-what you will, A word's enough to raise mankind to kill.
Lord Byron
With thee all tales are sweet each clime has charms earth - sea alike - our world within our arms.
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
Ah, happy years! once more who would not be a boy?
Lord Byron
Think'st thou there is no tyranny but that Of blood and chains? The despotism of vice-- The weakness and the wickedness of luxury-- The negligence--the apathy--the evils Of sensual sloth--produces ten thousand tyrants, Whose delegated cruelty surpasses The worst acts of one energetic master, However harsh and hard in his own bearing.
Lord Byron
Are not the mountains, waves, and skies as much a part of me, as I of them?
Lord Byron
And those who saw, it did surprise, Such drops could fall from human eyes.
Lord Byron
I am about to be married, and am of course in all the misery of a man in pursuit of happiness.
Lord Byron
The English winter - ending in July to recommence in August
Lord Byron
Not to admire, is all the art I know To make men happy, or to keep them so. Thus Horace wrote we all know long ago And thus Pope quotes the precept to re-teach From his translation but had none admired, Would Pope have sung, or Horace been inspired?
Lord Byron
