The reason that adulation is not displeasing is that, though untrue, it shows one to be of consequence enough, in one way or other, to induce people to lie.

More quotes by Lord Byron
By headless Charles see heartless Henry lies.
Lord Byron
It is not one man nor a million, but the spirit of liberty that must be preserved. The waves which dash upon the shore are, one by one, broken, but the ocean conquers nevertheless. It overwhelms the Armada, it wears out the rock. In like manner, whatever the struggle of individuals, the great cause will gather strength.
Lord Byron
The reading or non-reading a book will never keep down a single petticoat.
Lord Byron
What is Death, so it be but glorious? 'Tis a sunset And mortals may be happy to resemble The Gods but in decay.
Lord Byron
Few things surpass old wine and they may preach Who please, the more because they preach in vain
Lord Byron
Come what may, I have been blest.
Lord Byron
They used to say that knowledge is power. I used to think so, but I know now they mean money.
Lord Byron
If ancient tales say true, nor wrong these holy men.
Lord Byron
Despair and Genius are too oft connected
Lord Byron
Keep thy smooth words and juggling homilies for those who know thee not.
Lord Byron
And what is writ is writ - / Would it were worthier!
Lord Byron
You gave me the key to your heart, my love, then why did you make me knock?
Lord Byron
If a man proves too clearly and convincingly to himself...that a tiger is an optical illusion--well, he will find out he is wrong. The tiger will himself intervene in the discussion, in a manner which will be in every sense conclusive.
Lord Byron
Had sigh'd to many, though he loved but one.
Lord Byron
The 'good old times' - all times when old are good.
Lord Byron
Fair Greece! sad relic of departed worth! Immortal, though no more! though fallen, great!
Lord Byron
Thy decay's still impregnate with divinity.
Lord Byron
Fill high the cup with Samian wine!
Lord Byron
Tyranny Is far the worst of treasons. Dost thou deem None rebels except subjects? The prince who Neglects or violates his trust is more A brigand than the robber-chief.
Lord Byron
My heart in passion, and my head on rhymes.
Lord Byron
