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.

More quotes by Lord Byron
A little still she strove, and much repented, And whispering “I will ne'er consent”—consented.
Lord Byron
It is singular how soon we lose the impression of what ceases to be constantly before us. A year impairs, a luster obliterates. There is little distinct left without an effort of memory, then indeed the lights are rekindled for a moment - but who can be sure that the Imagination is not the torch-bearer?
Lord Byron
I am so convinced of the advantages of looking at mankind instead of reading about them, . . . that I think there should be a law amongst us to set our young men abroad for a term among the few allies our wars have left us.
Lord Byron
Since Eve ate the apple, much depends on dinner.
Lord Byron
Age shakes Athena's tower, but spares gray Marathon.
Lord Byron
Always laugh when you can. It is cheap medicine.
Lord Byron
If we must have a tyrant, let him at least be a gentleman who has been bred to the business, and let us fall by the axe and not by the butcher's cleaver.
Lord Byron
Pleasure's a sin, and sometimes sin's a pleasure.
Lord Byron
Fill high the cup with Samian wine!
Lord Byron
And then he danced,-all foreigners excel the serious Angels in the eloquence of pantomime-he danced, I say, right well, with emphasis, and a'so with good sense-a thing in footing indispensable: he danced without theatrical pretence, not like a ballet-master in the van of his drill'd nymphs, but like a gentleman.
Lord Byron
The place is very well and quiet and the children only scream in a low voice.
Lord Byron
The devil was the first democrat
Lord Byron
History - the devil's scripture
Lord Byron
Yes, love indeed is light from heaven A spark of that immortal fire with angels shared, by Allah given to lift from earth our low desire.
Lord Byron
Few things surpass old wine and they may preach Who please, the more because they preach in vain
Lord Byron
There's naught, no doubt, so much the spirit calms as rum and true religion.
Lord Byron
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
'Tis sweet to know there is an eye will mark our coming, and look brighter when we come.
Lord Byron
In solitude, when we are least alone.
Lord Byron
Next to dressing for a rout or ball, undressing is a woe.
Lord Byron
