More quotes by Lord Byron
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
It is singular how soon we lose the impression of what ceases to be constantly before us. A year impairs, a luster obliterates. There is little distinct left without an effort of memory, then indeed the lights are rekindled for a moment - but who can be sure that the Imagination is not the torch-bearer?
Lord Byron
Happiness was born a twin.
Lord Byron
Such is your cold coquette, who can't say No, And won't say Yes, and keeps you on and off-ing On a lee-shore, till it begins to blow, Then sees your heart wreck'd, with an inward scoffing.
Lord Byron
For through the South the custom still commands The gentleman to kiss the lady's hands.
Lord Byron
There's naught, no doubt, so much the spirit calms as rum and true religion.
Lord Byron
The reason that adulation is not displeasing is that, though untrue, it shows one to be of consequence enough, in one way or other, to induce people to lie.
Lord Byron
In commitment, we dash the hopes of a thousand potential selves.
Lord Byron
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
None are so desolate but something dear, Dearer than self, possesses or possess'd A thought, and claims the homage of a tear.
Lord Byron
Still from the fount of joy's delicious springs Some bitter o'er the flowers its bubbling venom flings.
Lord Byron
Twas twilight, and the sunless day went down Over the waste of waters like a veil, Which, if withdrawn, would but disclose the frown Of one whose hate is mask'd but to assail.
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
The law of heaven and earth is life for life.
Lord Byron
Grieving, if aught inanimate e'er grieves, Over the unreturning brave.
Lord Byron
Yon Sun that sets upon the sea We follow in his flight Farewell awhile to him and thee, My native land-Good Night!
Lord Byron
In hope to merit heaven by making earth a hell.
Lord Byron
I slept and dreamt that life was beauty I woke and found that life was duty.
Lord Byron
With thee all tales are sweet each clime has charms earth - sea alike - our world within our arms.
Lord Byron
One hates an author that's all author.
Lord Byron
