Oh who can tell, save he whose heart hath tried.
Lord Byron
Image
Absence - that common cure of love.
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 am acquainted with no immaterial sensuality so delightful as good acting.
Lord Byron
Image
The truly brave are soft of heart and eyes, and feel for what their duty bids them do.
Lord Byron
Image
The heart ran o'er With silent worship of the great of old!-- The dead, but sceptred sovereigns, who still rule Our spirits from their urns.
Lord Byron
Image
For through the South the custom still commands The gentleman to kiss the lady's hands.
Lord Byron
Image
All who joy would win must share it. Happiness was born a Twin.
Lord Byron
Image
Pleasure's a sin, and sometimes sin's a pleasure.
Lord Byron
Image
And those who saw, it did surprise, Such drops could fall from human eyes.
Lord Byron
Image
Grieving, if aught inanimate e'er grieves, Over the unreturning brave.
Lord Byron
Image
Of religion I know nothing -- at least, in its favor.
Lord Byron
Image
Send me no more reviews of any kind. I will read no more of evil or good in that line. Walter Scott has not read a review of himself for thirteen years .
Lord Byron
Image
Sweet is old wine in bottles, ale in barrels.
Lord Byron
Image
So sweet the blush of bashfulness, E'en pity scarce can wish it less!
Lord Byron
Image
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
Image
No words suffice the secret soul to show, For truth denies all eloquence to woe.
Lord Byron
Image
She walks in beauty, like the night Of cloudless climes and starry skies And all that's best of dark and bright Meet in her aspect and her eyes.
Lord Byron
Image
The place is very well and quiet and the children only scream in a low voice.
Lord Byron
Image
Let us have wine and women, mirth and laughter, sermons and soda water the day after.
Lord Byron
