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
Man is a carnivorous production, And must have meals, at least one meal a day He cannot live, like woodcocks, upon suction, But, like the shark and tiger, must have prey Although his anatomical construction Bears vegetables, in a grumbling way, Your laboring people think beyond all question, Beef, veal, and mutton better for digestion.
Lord Byron
Image
In England the only homage which they pay to Virtue - is hypocrisy.
Lord Byron

The reading or non-reading a book will never keep down a single petticoat.
Lord Byron
Image
Just as old age is creeping on space, And clouds come o'er the sunset of our day, They kindly leave us, though not quite alone, But in good company--the gout or stone.
Lord Byron
Image
This is the patent age of new inventions for killing bodies, and for saving souls. All propagated with the best intentions.
Lord Byron
Image
Death, so called, is a thing which makes men weep, And yet a third of life is passed in sleep.
Lord Byron

It is when we think we lead that we are most led.
Lord Byron
Image
The Coach does not play in the game, but the Coach helps the players identify areas to improve their game.
Lord Byron

This quiet sail is as a noiseless wing To waft me from distraction.
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
Image
The premises are so delightfully extensive, that two people might live together without ever seeing, hearing or meeting.
Lord Byron
Image
In solitude, when we are least alone.
Lord Byron
Image
Happiness was born a twin.
Lord Byron
Image
The mind can make substance, and people planets of its own with beings brighter than have been, and give a breath to forms which can outlive all flesh.
Lord Byron
Image
If I don't write to empty my mind, I go mad. As to that regular, uninterrupted love of writing. I do not understand it. I feel it as a torture, which I must get rid of, but never as a pleasure. On the contrary, I think composition a great pain.
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
By Heaven! it is a splendid sight to see For one who hath no friend, no brother there.
Lord Byron
Image
The devil hath not, in all his quiver's choice, An arrow for the heart like a sweet voice.
Lord Byron
Image
For the night Shows stars and women in a better light.
Lord Byron

The place is very well and quiet and the children only scream in a low voice.
