More quotes by Lord Byron
America is a model of force and freedom and moderation - with all the coarseness and rudeness of its people.
Lord Byron
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
Man is born passionate of body, but with an innate though secret tendency to the love of Good in his main-spring of Mind. But God help us all! It is at present a sad jar of atoms.
Lord Byron
Retirement accords with the tone of my mind I will not descend to a world I despise.
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
The stars are forth, the moon above the tops Of the snow-shining mountains--beautiful! I linger yet with nature, for the night Hath been to me a more familiar face Than that of man, and in her starry shade Of dim and solitary loveliness I learned the language of another world.
Lord Byron
The devil hath not, in all his quiver's choice, An arrow for the heart like a sweet voice.
Lord Byron
Sweet is old wine in bottles, ale in barrels.
Lord Byron
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
Venice once was dear, The pleasant place of all festivity, The revel of the earth, the masque of Italy.
Lord Byron
This is to be along this, this is solitude!
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
O ye! who teach the ingenious youth of nations, Holland, France, England, Germany or Spain, I pray ye flog them upon all occasions, It mends their morals, never mind the pain.
Lord Byron
Dead scandals form good subjects for dissection.
Lord Byron
Grieving, if aught inanimate e'er grieves, Over the unreturning brave.
Lord Byron
Oh that the desert were my dwelling-place, With one fair spirit for my minister
Lord Byron
A material resurrection seems strange and even absurd except for purposes of punishment, and all punishment which is to revenge rather than correct must be morally wrong, and when the World is at an end, what moral or warning purpose can eternal tortures answer?
Lord Byron
Alas! how deeply painful is all payment!
Lord Byron
Yet I did love thee to the last, As ferverently as thou, Who didst not change through all the past, And canst not alter now.
Lord Byron
I cannot help thinking that the menace of Hell makes as many devils as the severe penal codes of inhuman humanity make villains.
Lord Byron
