More quotes by Lord Byron
But mighty Nature bounds as from her birth The sun is in the heavens, and life on earth: Flowers in the valley, splendor in the beam, Health on the gale, and freshness in the stream.
Lord Byron
I suppose we shall soon travel by air-vessels make air instead of sea voyages and at length find our way to the moon, in spite of the want of atmosphere.
Lord Byron
I am surrounded here by parsons and methodists, but as you will see, not infested with the mania.
Lord Byron
Truth is a gem that is found at a great depth whilst on the surface of the world all things are weighed by the false scale of custom.
Lord Byron
Of religion I know nothing -- at least, in its favor.
Lord Byron
Pleasure's a sin, and sometimes sin's a pleasure.
Lord Byron
By Heaven! it is a splendid sight to see For one who hath no friend, no brother there.
Lord Byron

Lord Byron
A timid mind is apt to mistake every scratch for a mortal wound.
Lord Byron
For through the South the custom still commands The gentleman to kiss the lady's hands.
Lord Byron
The Christian has greatly the advantage of the unbeliever, having everything to gain and nothing to lose.
Lord Byron
If I don't write to empty my mind, I go mad. As to that regular, uninterrupted love of writing. I do not understand it. I feel it as a torture, which I must get rid of, but never as a pleasure. On the contrary, I think composition a great pain.
Lord Byron
Tis pleasant purchasing our fellow-creatures And all are to be sold, if you consider Their passions, and are dext'rous some by features Are brought up, others by a warlike leader Some by a place--as tend their years or natures The most by ready cash--but all have prices, From crowns to kicks, according to their vices.
Lord Byron
The devil hath not, in all his quiver's choice, An arrow for the heart like a sweet voice.
Lord Byron
Perhaps the early grave Which men weep over may be meant to save.
Lord Byron
History - the devil's scripture
Lord Byron
Smiles form the channels of a future tear.
Lord Byron
The place is very well and quiet and the children only scream in a low voice.
Lord Byron
Heaven gives its favourites-early death.
Lord Byron
A good coach encourages the same type of resilience in the people they work with. They encourage them to take risks. If the risk results in failure, they help all people to learn from the mistake and then go on to try another way.
Lord Byron
