More quotes by 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
Man is in part divine, A troubled stream from a pure source.
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
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
Image
The simple Wordsworth . . . / Who, both by precept and example, shows / That prose is verse, and verse is merely prose.
Lord Byron

Where are the forms the sculptor's soul hath seized? In him alone, Can nature show as fair?
Lord Byron
Image

Lord Byron
Image
Dead scandals form good subjects for dissection.
Lord Byron
Image
It is useless to tell one not to reason but to believe you might as well tell a man not to wake but sleep.
Lord Byron
Image
Every day confirms my opinion on the superiority of a vicious life, and if Virtue is not its own reward, I don't know any other stipend annexed to it.
Lord Byron
Image
Though sages may pour out their wisdom's treasure, there is no sterner moralist than pleasure.
Lord Byron
Image
By headless Charles see heartless Henry lies.
Lord Byron
Image
Kill a man's family, and he may brook it, But keep your hands out of his breeches' pocket.
Lord Byron
Image
I depart, Whither I know not but the hour's gone by When Albion's lessening shores could grieve or glad mine eye.
Lord Byron
Image
The Niobe of nations! there she stands.
Lord Byron
Image
We of the craft are all crazy.
Lord Byron
Image
Scion of chiefs and monarchs, where art thou? Fond hope of many nations, art thou dead? Could not the grave forget thee, and lay low Some less majestic, less beloved head?
Lord Byron
Image
I only know we loved in vain I only feel-farewell! farewell!
Lord Byron
Image
Are not the mountains, waves, and skies as much a part of me, as I of them?
Lord Byron
