More quotes by Lord Byron
Like the measles, love is most dangerous when it comes late in life.
Lord Byron
Most glorious night! Thou wert not sent for slumber!
Lord Byron
Romances I ne'er read like those I have seen.
Lord Byron
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
It is not one man nor a million, but the spirit of liberty that must be preserved. The waves which dash upon the shore are, one by one, broken, but the ocean conquers nevertheless. It overwhelms the Armada, it wears out the rock. In like manner, whatever the struggle of individuals, the great cause will gather strength.
Lord Byron
So for a good old-gentlemanly vice, I think I must take up with avarice.
Lord Byron
A pretty woman is a welcome guest.
Lord Byron
But as to women, who can penetrate the real sufferings of their she condition? Man's very sympathy with their estate has much of selfishness and more suspicion. Their love, their virtue, beauty, education, but form good housekeepers, to breed a nation.
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 am about to be married, and am of course in all the misery of a man in pursuit of happiness.
Lord Byron
Sleep hath its own world, and the wide realm of wild reality.
Lord Byron
All who joy would win must share it. Happiness was born a Twin.
Lord Byron
Life is too short for chess.
Lord Byron
The bright sun was extinguish'd, and the stars Did wander darkling in the eternal space.
Lord Byron
My heart in passion, and my head on rhymes.
Lord Byron
'Tis sweet to know there is an eye will mark our coming, and look brighter when we come.
Lord Byron
You gave me the key to your heart, my love, then why did you make me knock?
Lord Byron
Always laugh when you can. It is cheap medicine.
Lord Byron
Such is your cold coquette, who can't say No, And won't say Yes, and keeps you on and off-ing On a lee-shore, till it begins to blow, Then sees your heart wreck'd, with an inward scoffing.
Lord Byron
My native land, good night!
Lord Byron
