Quote

The lapse of ages changes all things - time, language, the earth, the bounds of the sea, the stars of the sky, and every thing about, around, and underneath man, except man himself.

More quotes by Lord Byron

Image
No ear can hear nor tongue can tell the tortures of the inward hell!
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
A legal broom's a moral chimney-sweeper, And that's the reason he himself's so dirty
Lord Byron
Image
Thy decay's still impregnate with divinity.
Lord Byron
Image
Keep thy smooth words and juggling homilies for those who know thee not.
Lord Byron
Image
'Tis sweet to know there is an eye will mark our coming, and look brighter when we come.
Lord Byron
Image
It is when we think we lead that we are most led.
Lord Byron
Image
Grieving, if aught inanimate e'er grieves, Over the unreturning brave.
Lord Byron
Image
Sleep hath its own world, and the wide realm of wild reality.
Lord Byron
Image
Socrates said, our only knowledge was To know that nothing could be known a pleasant Science enough, which levels to an ass Each Man of Wisdom, future, past, or present. Newton, (that Proverb of the Mind,) alas! Declared, with all his grand discoveries recent, That he himself felt only like a youth Picking up shells by the great Ocean-Truth.
Lord Byron
Image
I depart, Whither I know not but the hour's gone by When Albion's lessening shores could grieve or glad mine eye.
Lord Byron
Image
A little still she strove, and much repented, And whispering “I will ne'er consent”—consented.
Lord Byron
Image
I have had, and may have still, a thousand friends, as they are called, in life, who are like one's partners in the waltz of this world -not much remembered when the ball is over.
Lord Byron
Image
There's naught, no doubt, so much the spirit calms as rum and true religion.
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
Oh who can tell, save he whose heart hath tried.
Lord Byron
Image
Earth! render back from out thy breast A remnant of our Spartan dead! Of the three hundred grant but three, To make a new Thermopylæ!
Lord Byron
Image
This is to be mortal, And seek the things beyond mortality.
Lord Byron
Image
Perhaps the early grave Which men weep over may be meant to save.
Lord Byron
Image
Many are poets, but without the nameFor what is Poesy but to createFrom overfeeling Good or Ill and aimAt an external life beyond our fate,And be the new Prometheus of new men,Bestowing fire from Heaven, and then, too late,Finding the pleasure given repaid with pain
Lord Byron
