Image
Though sages may pour out their wisdom's treasure, there is no sterner moralist than pleasure.
Lord Byron
Image
What deep wounds ever closed without a scar? The hearts bleed longest, and heals but to wear That which disfigures it.
Lord Byron
Image
O Fame! if I ever took delight in thy praises, Twas less for the sake of thy high-sounding phrases, Than to see the bright eyes of the dear one discover The thought that I was not unworthy to love her.
Lord Byron
Image
Retirement accords with the tone of my mind I will not descend to a world I despise.
Lord Byron
Image
O ye! who teach the ingenious youth of nations, Holland, France, England, Germany or Spain, I pray ye flog them upon all occasions, It mends their morals, never mind the pain.
Lord Byron
Image
Are not the mountains, waves, and skies as much a part of me, as I of them?
Lord Byron
Image
Years steal fire from the mind as vigor from the limb and life's enchanted cup but sparkles near the brim.
Lord Byron
Image
Ah, happy years! once more who would not be a boy?
Lord Byron
Image
What is the worst of woes that wait on age? What stamps the wrinkle deeper on the brow? To view each loved one blotted from life's page, And be alone on earth, as I am now.
Lord Byron
Image
A change came o'er the spirit of my dream.
Lord Byron
Image
The reading or non-reading a book will never keep down a single petticoat.
Lord Byron
Image
Ada! sole daughter of my house and heart.
Lord Byron
Image
A drop of ink may make a million think.
Lord Byron
Image
Despair and Genius are too oft connected
Lord Byron
Image
All Heaven and Earth are still, though not in sleep, But breathless, as we grow when feeling most.
Lord Byron
Image
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
Image
This is to be mortal, And seek the things beyond mortality.
Lord Byron
Image
Had sigh'd to many, though he loved but one.
Lord Byron
Image
Tis strange,-but true for truth is always strange Stranger than fiction: if it could be told, How much would novels gain by the exchange! How differently the world would men behold!
Lord Byron
Image
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
