More quotes by Lord Byron

Image
Divine in hookas, glorious in a pipe When tipp'd with amber, mellow, rich, and ripe... Yet thy true lovers more admire by far Thy naked beauties - give me a cigar!
Lord Byron
Image
Heaven gives its favourites-early death.
Lord Byron
Image
Nothing so difficult as a beginning In poesy, unless perhaps the end.
Lord Byron
Image
A material resurrection seems strange and even absurd except for purposes of punishment, and all punishment which is to revenge rather than correct must be morally wrong, and when the World is at an end, what moral or warning purpose can eternal tortures answer?
Lord Byron
Image
Thy decay's still impregnate with divinity.
Lord Byron
Image
And gentle winds and waters near, make music to the lonely ear.
Lord Byron
Image
Sighing that Nature formed but one such man, and broke the die.
Lord Byron
Image
Bread has been made (indifferent) from potatoes And galvanism has set some corpses grinning, But has not answer'd like the apparatus Of the Humane Society's beginning, By which men are unsuffocated gratis: What wondrous new machines have late been spinning.
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
Prolonged endurance tames the bold.
Lord Byron
Image
This is to be mortal, And seek the things beyond mortality.
Lord Byron
Image
When age chills the blood, when our pleasures are past - For years fleet away with the wings of the dove - The dearest remembrance will still be the last, Our sweetest memorial the first kiss of love.
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
The devil was the first democrat
Lord Byron
Image
I die but first I have possessed, And come what may, I have been blessed.
Lord Byron
Image
There's naught, no doubt, so much the spirit calms as rum and true religion.
Lord Byron
Image
Had sigh'd to many, though he loved but one.
Lord Byron
Image
One certainly has a soul but how it came to allow itself to be enclosed in a body is more than I can imagine.
Lord Byron
Image
Alas! how deeply painful is all payment!
Lord Byron
Image
Fills The air around with beauty.
