The Niobe of nations! there she stands.
Lord Byron
Image
So for a good old-gentlemanly vice, I think I must take up with avarice.
Lord Byron
Image
And I would hear yet once before I perish The voice which was my music... Speak to me!
Lord Byron
Image
For through the South the custom still commands The gentleman to kiss the lady's hands.
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
Let no man grumble when his friends fall off, As they will do like leaves at the first breeze When your affairs come round, one way or t'other, Go to the coffee house, and take another.
Lord Byron
Image
Jealousy dislikes the world to know it.
Lord Byron
Image
America is a model of force and freedom and moderation - with all the coarseness and rudeness of its people.
Lord Byron
Image
My slumbers--if I slumber--are not sleep, But a continuance of enduring thought, Which then I can resist not: in my heart There is a vigil, and these eyes but close To look within and yet I live, and bear The aspect and the form of breathing men.
Lord Byron
Image
Then farewell, Horace whom I hated so, Not for thy faults, but mine.
Lord Byron
Image
I speak not of men's creeds—they rest between Man and his Maker.
Lord Byron
Image
...And these vicissitudes come best in youth For when they happen at a riper age, People are apt to blame the Fates, forsooth, And wonder Providence is not more sage. Adversity is the first path to truth: He who hath proved war, storm, or woman's rage, Whether his winters be eighteen or eighty, Has won experience which is deem'd so weighty.
Lord Byron
Image
For the night Shows stars and women in a better light.
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
It is true from early habit, one must make love mechanically as one swims I was once very fond of both, but now as I never swim unless I tumble into the water, I don't make love till almost obliged.
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
The fact is that my wife if she had common sense would have more power over me than any other whatsoever, for my heart always alights upon the nearest perch.
Lord Byron
Image
I had a dream, which was not at all a dream.
Lord Byron
Image
I slept and dreamt that life was beauty I woke and found that life was duty.
Lord Byron

Religion-freedom-vengeance-what you will, A word's enough to raise mankind to kill.
