More quotes by Lord Byron

Image
Roll on, deep and dark blue ocean, roll. Ten thousand fleets sweep over thee in vain. Man marks the earth with ruin, but his control stops with the shore.
Lord Byron
Image
He learned the arts of riding, fencing, gunnery, And how to scale a fortress - or a nunnery.
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
Man is in part divine, A troubled stream from a pure source.
Lord Byron
Image
For truth is always strange stranger than fiction.
Lord Byron
Image
So for a good old-gentlemanly vice, I think I must take up with avarice.
Lord Byron
Image
Be hypocritical, be cautious, be not what you seem but always what you see.
Lord Byron
Image
Come what may, I have been blest.
Lord Byron
Image
A pretty woman is a welcome guest.
Lord Byron
Image
Death, so called, is a thing which makes men weep, And yet a third of life is passed in sleep.
Lord Byron
Image
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.
Lord Byron
Image
But stories somehow lengthen when begun.
Lord Byron
Image
Many are poets, but without the nameFor what is Poesy but to createFrom overfeeling Good or Ill and aimAt an external life beyond our fate,And be the new Prometheus of new men,Bestowing fire from Heaven, and then, too late,Finding the pleasure given repaid with pain
Lord Byron
Image
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
Image
I speak not of men's creeds—they rest between Man and his Maker.
Lord Byron
Image
O Fame! if I ever took delight in thy praises, Twas less for the sake of thy high-sounding phrases, Than to see the bright eyes of the dear one discover The thought that I was not unworthy to love her.
Lord Byron
Image
Why I came here, I know not where I shall go it is useless to inquire - in the midst of myriads of the living and the dead worlds, stars, systems, infinity, why should I be anxious about an atom?
Lord Byron
Image
Oh who can tell, save he whose heart hath tried.
Lord Byron
Image
The truly brave are soft of heart and eyes, and feel for what their duty bids them do.
Lord Byron
Image
Damn description, it is always disgusting.
