More quotes by Lord Byron
A timid mind is apt to mistake every scratch for a mortal wound.
Lord Byron
So for a good old-gentlemanly vice, I think I must take up with avarice.
Lord Byron
Frienship is eros...without wings
Lord Byron
Bologna is celebrated for producing popes, painters, and sausage.
Lord Byron
But mighty Nature bounds as from her birth The sun is in the heavens, and life on earth: Flowers in the valley, splendor in the beam, Health on the gale, and freshness in the stream.
Lord Byron
A good coach encourages the same type of resilience in the people they work with. They encourage them to take risks. If the risk results in failure, they help all people to learn from the mistake and then go on to try another way.
Lord Byron
[Armenian] is a rich language, however, and would amply repay any one the trouble of learning it.
Lord Byron
Venice once was dear, The pleasant place of all festivity, The revel of the earth, the masque of Italy.
Lord Byron
I suppose we shall soon travel by air-vessels make air instead of sea voyages and at length find our way to the moon, in spite of the want of atmosphere.
Lord Byron
Then rose from sea to sky the wild farewell Then shriek'd the timid, and stood still the brave, Then some leap'd overboard with fearful yell, As eager to anticipate their grave.
Lord Byron
I stood among them, but not of them: in a shroud of thoughts which were not their thoughts.
Lord Byron
Tis said that persons living on annuities Are longer lived than others.
Lord Byron
Ada! sole daughter of my house and heart.
Lord Byron
Now I shall go to sleep. Goodnight.
Lord Byron
They truly mourn, that mourn without a witness.
Lord Byron
Yet I did love thee to the last, As ferverently as thou, Who didst not change through all the past, And canst not alter now.
Lord Byron
I hate all pain, Given or received we have enough within us The meanest vassal as the loftiest monarch, Not to add to each other's natural burden Of mortal misery.
Lord Byron
The reading or non-reading a book will never keep down a single petticoat.
Lord Byron
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
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
