More quotes by Lord Byron

Lord Byron

Lord Byron
Oh who can tell, save he whose heart hath tried.
Lord Byron
In solitude, when we are least alone.
Lord Byron

Lord Byron

Lord Byron
Happiness was born a twin.
Lord Byron
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
Always laugh when you can. It is cheap medicine.

Lord Byron

Lord Byron
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
Between two worlds life hovers like a star, twixt night and morn, upon the horizon's verge.
Lord Byron
This sort of adoration of the real is but a heightening of the beau ideal.
Lord Byron
Prolonged endurance tames the bold.
Lord Byron
Life is too short for chess.
Lord Byron
Then stirs the feeling infinite, so felt In solitude, where we are least alone.
Lord Byron
What is Death, so it be but glorious? 'Tis a sunset And mortals may be happy to resemble The Gods but in decay.
Lord Byron
Man is born passionate of body, but with an innate though secret tendency to the love of Good in his main-spring of Mind. But God help us all! It is at present a sad jar of atoms.
Lord Byron
The French courage proceeds from vanity
Lord Byron
