Image
Pure friendship's well-feigned blush.
Lord Byron
Image
Kill a man's family, and he may brook it, But keep your hands out of his breeches' pocket.
Lord Byron
Image
It is true from early habit, one must make love mechanically as one swims I was once very fond of both, but now as I never swim unless I tumble into the water, I don't make love till almost obliged.
Lord Byron
Image
And the commencement of atonement is the sense of its necessity.
Lord Byron
Image
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
Image
If from society we learn to live, solitude should teach us how to die.
Lord Byron
Image
Parting day Dies like the dolphin, whom each pang imbues With a new colour as it gasps away, The last still loveliest, till-'t is gone, and all is gray.
Lord Byron
Image
The devil was the first democrat
Lord Byron
Image
A change came o'er the spirit of my dream.
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
What is fame? The advantage of being known by people of whom you yourself know nothing, and for whom you care as little.
Lord Byron
Image
Still from the fount of joy's delicious springs Some bitter o'er the flowers its bubbling venom flings.
Lord Byron
Image
The poetry of speech.
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
America is a model of force and freedom and moderation - with all the coarseness and rudeness of its people.
Lord Byron
Image
Retirement accords with the tone of my mind I will not descend to a world I despise.
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
Image
Thy decay's still impregnate with divinity.
Lord Byron
Image
Out of chaos God made a world, and out of high passions comes a people.
Lord Byron
Image
Have not all past human beings parted, And must not all the present, one day part?
Lord Byron
