Go let thy less than woman's hand Assume the distaff not the brand.
Lord Byron
Image
Oh, Mirth and Innocence! Oh, Milk and Water! Ye happy mixture of more happy days!
Lord Byron
Image
Though the day of my Destiny 's over, And the star of my Fate hath declined, Thy soft heart refused to discover The faults which so many could find.
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
Lord Byron

What men call gallantry, and gods adultery, is much more common where the climate's sultry.
Lord Byron
Image

Lord Byron
Image
And hold up to the sun my little taper.
Lord Byron
Image
For the Angel of Death spread his wings on the blast, And breathed in the face of the foe as he passed And the eyes of the sleepers waxed deadly and chill, And their hearts but once heaved, and for ever grew still!
Lord Byron
Image
The place is very well and quiet and the children only scream in a low voice.
Lord Byron
Image
Tyranny Is far the worst of treasons. Dost thou deem None rebels except subjects? The prince who Neglects or violates his trust is more A brigand than the robber-chief.
Lord Byron
Image
Dead scandals form good subjects for dissection.
Lord Byron
Image
Fools are my theme, let satire be my song.
Lord Byron
Image
The Niobe of nations! there she stands.
Lord Byron
Image
Curiosity kills itself and love is only curiosity, as is proved by its end.
Lord Byron
Image
For what were all these country patriots born? To hunt, and vote, and raise the price of corn?
Lord Byron
Image
Nor all that heralds rake from coffin'd clay, Nor florid prose, nor honied lies of rhyme, Can blazon evil deeds, or consecrate a crime.
Lord Byron
Image
If I could always read, I should never feel the want of company.
Lord Byron
Image
Most glorious night! Thou wert not sent for slumber!
Lord Byron
Image
Alas! how deeply painful is all payment!
Lord Byron
