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

Farewell! if ever fondest prayer For other's weal avail'd on high, Mine will not all be lost in air, But waft thy name beyond the sky.
Lord Byron
That famish'd people must be slowly nurst, and fed by spoonfuls, else they always burst.

Lord Byron

Lord Byron

Lord Byron
Fill high the cup with Samian wine!
Lord Byron
Life is too short for chess.
Lord Byron

Lord Byron
You should have a softer pillow than my heart.
Lord Byron
Folly loves the martyrdom of fame.
Lord Byron
It has been said that the immortality of the soul is a grand peut-tre -but still it is a grand one. Everybody clings to it -the stupidest, and dullest, and wickedest of human bipeds is still persuaded that he is immortal.
Lord Byron
'Twas strange that one so young should thus concern His brain about the action of the sky If you think 'twas philosophy that this did, I can't help thinking puberty assisted.
Lord Byron
If I could always read, I should never feel the want of company.
Lord Byron
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
