Image
Few things surpass old wine and they may preach Who please, the more because they preach in vain
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
No words suffice the secret soul to show, For truth denies all eloquence to woe.
Lord Byron
Image
With flowing tail and flying mane, Wide nostrils never stretched by pain, Mouth bloodless to bit or rein, And feet that iron never shod, And flanks unscar'd by spur or rod, A thousand horses - the wild - the free - Like waves that follow o'er the sea, Came thickly thundering on.
Lord Byron
Image
My altars are the mountains and the ocean.
Lord Byron
Image
To withdraw myself from myself has ever been my sole, my entire, my sincere motive in scribbling at all.
Lord Byron
Image
Think you, if Laura had been Petrarch's wife, He would have written sonnets all his life?.
Lord Byron
Image
Near this spot are deposited the remains of one who possessed beauty without vanity, strength without insolence, courage without ferocity, and all the virtues of man, without his vices. This praise, which would be unmeaning flattery if inscribed over human ashes, is but a just tribute to the memory of Botswain, a dog.
Lord Byron
Image
I doubt sometimes whether a quiet and unagitated life would have suited me - yet I sometimes long for it.
Lord Byron
Image
I should like to know who has been carried off, except poor dear me - I have been more ravished myself than anybody since the Trojan war.
Lord Byron
Image
The reading or non-reading a book will never keep down a single petticoat.
Lord Byron
Image
Had sigh'd to many, though he loved but one.
Lord Byron
Image
So for a good old-gentlemanly vice, I think I must take up with avarice.
Lord Byron
Image
Dead scandals form good subjects for dissection.
Lord Byron
Image
Who then will explain the explanation?
Lord Byron
Image
I would rather have a nod from an American, than a snuff- box from an emperor.
Lord Byron
Image
Life is too short for chess.
Lord Byron
Image
America is a model of force and freedom and moderation - with all the coarseness and rudeness of its people.
Lord Byron
Image
I am the very slave of circumstance And impulse borne away with every breath! Misplaced upon the throne misplaced in life. I know not what I could have been, but feel I am not what I should be let it end.
Lord Byron
Image
In commitment, we dash the hopes of a thousand potential selves.
Lord Byron
