Lord Byron
Image
To be perfectly original one should think much and read little, and this is impossible, for one must have read before one has learnt to think.
Lord Byron
Image
And I would hear yet once before I perish The voice which was my music... Speak to me!
Lord Byron
Image
Poetry should only occupy the idle.
Lord Byron
Image
A good coach encourages the same type of resilience in the people they work with. They encourage them to take risks. If the risk results in failure, they help all people to learn from the mistake and then go on to try another way.
Lord Byron
Image
He learned the arts of riding, fencing, gunnery, And how to scale a fortress - or a nunnery.
Lord Byron
Image
Divine in hookas, glorious in a pipe When tipp'd with amber, mellow, rich, and ripe... Yet thy true lovers more admire by far Thy naked beauties - give me a cigar!
Lord Byron
