More quotes by Lord Byron
My altars are the mountains and the ocean.
Lord Byron
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
Not to admire, is all the art I know To make men happy, or to keep them so. Thus Horace wrote we all know long ago And thus Pope quotes the precept to re-teach From his translation but had none admired, Would Pope have sung, or Horace been inspired?
Lord Byron
And life 's enchanted cup but sparkles near the brim.
Lord Byron
Come what may, I have been blest.
Lord Byron
I have great hopes that we shall love each other all our lives as much as if we had never married at all.
Lord Byron
Dead scandals form good subjects for dissection.
Lord Byron
I know that two and two make four - and should be glad to prove it too if I could - though I must say if by any sort of process I could convert 2 and 2 into five it would give me much greater pleasure.
Lord Byron
So for a good old-gentlemanly vice, I think I must take up with avarice.
Lord Byron
No ear can hear nor tongue can tell the tortures of the inward hell!
Lord Byron
A timid mind is apt to mistake every scratch for a mortal wound.
Lord Byron
Lord of himself that heritage of woe!
Lord Byron
Constancy... that small change of love, which people exact so rigidly, receive in such counterfeit coin, and repay in baser metal.
Lord Byron
Tis an old lesson time approves it true, And those who know it best, deplore it most When all is won that all desire to woo, The paltry prize is hardly worth the cost.
Lord Byron
Man's conscience is the oracle of God.
Lord Byron
Do proper homage to thine idol's eyes But no too humbly, or she will despise Thee and thy suit, though told in moving tropes: Disguise even tenderness if thou art wise.
Lord Byron
Books, Manuals, Directives, Regulations. The geometries that circumscribe your working life draw norrower and norrower until nothing fits inside them anymore.
Lord Byron
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
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
Of religion I know nothing -- at least, in its favor.
Lord Byron
