More quotes by Lord Byron
Father of Light! great God of Heaven! Hear'st thou the accents of despair? Can guilt like man's be e'er forgiven? Can vice atone for crimes by prayer.
Lord Byron
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
I live not in myself, but I become Portion of that around me: and to me High mountains are a feeling, but the hum of human cities torture.
Lord Byron
They truly mourn, that mourn without a witness.
Lord Byron
They used to say that knowledge is power. I used to think so, but I know now they mean money.
Lord Byron
What is the worst of woes that wait on age? What stamps the wrinkle deeper on the brow? To view each loved one blotted from life's page, And be alone on earth, as I am now.
Lord Byron
I can't but say it is an awkward sight To see one's native land receding through The growing waters it unmans one quite, Especially when life is rather new.
Lord Byron
Happiness was born a twin.
Lord Byron
Your thief looks Exactly like the rest, or rather better 'Tis only at the bar, and in the dungeon, That wise men know your felon by his features.
Lord Byron
Pure friendship's well-feigned blush.
Lord Byron
I stood among them, but not of them: in a shroud of thoughts which were not their thoughts.
Lord Byron
Think'st thou there is no tyranny but that Of blood and chains? The despotism of vice-- The weakness and the wickedness of luxury-- The negligence--the apathy--the evils Of sensual sloth--produces ten thousand tyrants, Whose delegated cruelty surpasses The worst acts of one energetic master, However harsh and hard in his own bearing.
Lord Byron
Friendship may, and often does, grow into love, but love never subsides into friendship.
Lord Byron
Age shakes Athena's tower, but spares gray Marathon.
Lord Byron
To chase the glowing hours with flying feet.
Lord Byron
Hatred is the madness of the heart.
Lord Byron
In solitude, when we are least alone.
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
The Christian has greatly the advantage of the unbeliever, having everything to gain and nothing to lose.
Lord Byron
To withdraw myself from myself has ever been my sole, my entire, my sincere motive in scribbling at all.
Lord Byron
