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
And life 's enchanted cup but sparkles near the brim.
Lord Byron
In commitment, we dash the hopes of a thousand potential selves.
Lord Byron
Pleasure's a sin, and sometimes sin's a pleasure.
Lord Byron
Dead scandals form good subjects for dissection.
Lord Byron
One hates an author that's all author.
Lord Byron
Man is in part divine, A troubled stream from a pure source.
Lord Byron
Thy decay's still impregnate with divinity.
Lord Byron
Absence - that common cure of love.
Lord Byron
Parting day Dies like the dolphin, whom each pang imbues With a new colour as it gasps away, The last still loveliest, till-'t is gone, and all is gray.
Lord Byron
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
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
The great object of life is Sensation - to feel that we exist - even though in pain - it is this craving void which drives us to gaming - to battle - to travel - to intemperate but keenly felt pursuits of every description whose principal attraction is the agitation inseparable from their accomplishment.
Lord Byron
My native land, good night!
Lord Byron
In England the only homage which they pay to Virtue - is hypocrisy.
Lord Byron
I hate all pain, Given or received we have enough within us The meanest vassal as the loftiest monarch, Not to add to each other's natural burden Of mortal misery.
Lord Byron
He learned the arts of riding, fencing, gunnery, And how to scale a fortress - or a nunnery.
Lord Byron
Next to dressing for a rout or ball, undressing is a woe.
Lord Byron
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
Of religion I know nothing -- at least, in its favor.
Lord Byron
He who is only just is cruel who Upon the earth would live were all judged justly?
Lord Byron
