More quotes by Lord Byron
So sweet the blush of bashfulness, E'en pity scarce can wish it less!
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
Sometimes we are less unhappy in being deceived by those we love, than in being undeceived by them.
Lord Byron
And wrinkles, the damned democrats, won't flatter.
Lord Byron
A timid mind is apt to mistake every scratch for a mortal wound.
Lord Byron
Which cheers the sad, revives the old, inspires The young, makes Weariness forget his toil, And Fear her danger opens a new world When this, the present, palls.
Lord Byron
Have not all past human beings parted, And must not all the present, one day part?
Lord Byron
This is the patent-age of new inventions For killing bodies, and for saving souls, All propagated with the best intentions Sir Humphrey Davy's lantern, by which coals Are safely mined for in the mode he mentions, Tombuctoo travels, voyages to the Poles, Are ways to benefit mankind, as true, Perhaps, as shooting them at Waterloo.
Lord Byron
The fact is that my wife if she had common sense would have more power over me than any other whatsoever, for my heart always alights upon the nearest perch.
Lord Byron
In hope to merit heaven by making earth a hell.
Lord Byron
Oh, talk not to me of a name great in story The days of our youth are the days of our glory And the myrtle and ivy of sweet two-and-twenty Are worth all your laurels, though ever so plenty.
Lord Byron
My heart in passion, and my head on rhymes.
Lord Byron
I should like to know who has been carried off, except poor dear me - I have been more ravished myself than anybody since the Trojan war.
Lord Byron
Friendship may, and often does, grow into love, but love never subsides into friendship.
Lord Byron
Man is a carnivorous production, And must have meals, at least one meal a day He cannot live, like woodcocks, upon suction, But, like the shark and tiger, must have prey Although his anatomical construction Bears vegetables, in a grumbling way, Your laboring people think beyond all question, Beef, veal, and mutton better for digestion.
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
In England the only homage which they pay to Virtue - is hypocrisy.
Lord Byron
Despair and Genius are too oft connected
Lord Byron
I have a great mind to believe in Christianity for the mere pleasure of fancying I may be damned.
Lord Byron
Lord of himself that heritage of woe!
Lord Byron
