Image
Jealousy dislikes the world to know it.
Lord Byron
Image
Sleep hath its own world, and the wide realm of wild reality.
Lord Byron
Image
Above or Love, Hope, Hate or Fear, It lives all passionless and pure: An age shall fleet like earthly year Its years in moments shall endure. Away, away, without a wing, O'er all, through all, its thought shall fly A nameless and eternal thing, Forgetting what it was to die.
Lord Byron
Image
Life is too short for chess.
Lord Byron

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
Had sigh'd to many, though he loved but one.
Lord Byron
Image
But as to women, who can penetrate the real sufferings of their she condition? Man's very sympathy with their estate has much of selfishness and more suspicion. Their love, their virtue, beauty, education, but form good housekeepers, to breed a nation.
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
All Heaven and Earth are still, though not in sleep, But breathless, as we grow when feeling most.
Lord Byron
Image
Man marks the earth with ruin - his control stops with the shore.
Lord Byron
Image
Then farewell, Horace whom I hated so, Not for thy faults, but mine.
Lord Byron
Image
'Twas strange that one so young should thus concern His brain about the action of the sky If you think 'twas philosophy that this did, I can't help thinking puberty assisted.
Lord Byron
Image
Ah, happy years! once more who would not be a boy?
Lord Byron

America is a model of force and freedom and moderation - with all the coarseness and rudeness of its people.
