It is useless to tell one not to reason but to believe you might as well tell a man not to wake but sleep.
Lord Byron
Image
I really cannot know whether I am or am not the Genius you are pleased to call me, but I am very willing to put up with the mistake, if it be one.
Lord Byron
Image
Fools are my theme, let satire be my song.
Lord Byron
Image
The heart ran o'er With silent worship of the great of old!-- The dead, but sceptred sovereigns, who still rule Our spirits from their urns.
Lord Byron
Image
...And these vicissitudes come best in youth For when they happen at a riper age, People are apt to blame the Fates, forsooth, And wonder Providence is not more sage. Adversity is the first path to truth: He who hath proved war, storm, or woman's rage, Whether his winters be eighteen or eighty, Has won experience which is deem'd so weighty.
Lord Byron

Letter writing is the only device combining solitude with good company.
Lord Byron

My native land, good night!
Lord Byron
Image
Sighing that Nature formed but one such man, and broke the die.
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
For the night Shows stars and women in a better light.
Lord Byron
Image
My slumbers--if I slumber--are not sleep, But a continuance of enduring thought, Which then I can resist not: in my heart There is a vigil, and these eyes but close To look within and yet I live, and bear The aspect and the form of breathing men.
Lord Byron
Image
And what is writ is writ - / Would it were worthier!
Lord Byron

Life is too short for chess.
