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
And I would hear yet once before I perish The voice which was my music... Speak to me!
Lord Byron
Image
I had a dream, which was not at all a dream.
Lord Byron
Image
What men call gallantry, and gods adultery, is much more common where the climate's sultry.
Lord Byron
Image
Smiles form the channels of a future tear.
Lord Byron
Image
And those who saw, it did surprise, Such drops could fall from human eyes.
Lord Byron
Image
'Tis pleasant, sure, to see one's name in print. A book's a book, although there's nothing in 't.
Lord Byron
Image
Above or Love, Hope, Hate or Fear, It lives all passionless and pure: An age shall fleet like earthly year Its years in moments shall endure. Away, away, without a wing, O'er all, through all, its thought shall fly A nameless and eternal thing, Forgetting what it was to die.
Lord Byron
Image
To be perfectly original one should think much and read little, and this is impossible, for one must have read before one has learnt to think.
Lord Byron
Image
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
Image
What is the worst of woes that wait on age? What stamps the wrinkle deeper on the brow? To view each loved one blotted from life's page, And be alone on earth, as I am now.
Lord Byron
Image
Then, fare thee well, deceitful Maid!
Lord Byron
Image
But every fool describes, in these bright days, His wondrous journey to some foreign court, And spawns his quarto, and demands your praise,-- Death to his publisher, to him 'tis sport.
Lord Byron
Image
Thy decay's still impregnate with divinity.
Lord Byron
Image
I hate all pain, Given or received we have enough within us The meanest vassal as the loftiest monarch, Not to add to each other's natural burden Of mortal misery.
Lord Byron
Image
That famish'd people must be slowly nurst, and fed by spoonfuls, else they always burst.
Lord Byron
Image
Frienship is eros...without wings
Lord Byron
Image
You should have a softer pillow than my heart.
Lord Byron
Image
But there are wanderers o'er Eternity Whose bark drives on and on, and anchor'd ne'er shall be.
Lord Byron
Image
All human history attests That happiness for man, - the hungry sinner! - Since Eve ate apples, much depends on dinner. ~Lord Byron, Don Juan, Canto XIII, stanza 99
