More quotes by Lord Byron

Image
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
Image
With thee all tales are sweet each clime has charms earth - sea alike - our world within our arms.
Lord Byron
Image
With flowing tail and flying mane, Wide nostrils never stretched by pain, Mouth bloodless to bit or rein, And feet that iron never shod, And flanks unscar'd by spur or rod, A thousand horses - the wild - the free - Like waves that follow o'er the sea, Came thickly thundering on.
Lord Byron
Image
The great art of life is sensation, to feel that we exist, even in pain.
Lord Byron
Image
She walks in beauty, like the night Of cloudless climes and starry skies And all that's best of dark and bright Meet in her aspect and her eyes.
Lord Byron
Image
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
Image
Tis pleasant purchasing our fellow-creatures And all are to be sold, if you consider Their passions, and are dext'rous some by features Are brought up, others by a warlike leader Some by a place--as tend their years or natures The most by ready cash--but all have prices, From crowns to kicks, according to their vices.
Lord Byron
Image
Romances I ne'er read like those I have seen.
Lord Byron
Image
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
Image
Curiosity kills itself and love is only curiosity, as is proved by its end.
Lord Byron
Image
And wrinkles, the damned democrats, won't flatter.
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
Despair and Genius are too oft connected
Lord Byron
Image
Socrates said, our only knowledge was To know that nothing could be known a pleasant Science enough, which levels to an ass Each Man of Wisdom, future, past, or present. Newton, (that Proverb of the Mind,) alas! Declared, with all his grand discoveries recent, That he himself felt only like a youth Picking up shells by the great Ocean-Truth.
Lord Byron
Image
A timid mind is apt to mistake every scratch for a mortal wound.
Lord Byron
Image
The devil was the first democrat
Lord Byron
Image
Knowledge is not happiness, and science But an exchange of ignorance for that Which is another kind of ignorance.
Lord Byron
Image
Though sages may pour out their wisdom's treasure, there is no sterner moralist than pleasure.
Lord Byron
Image
I learned to love despair.
Lord Byron
Image
What deep wounds ever closed without a scar? The hearts bleed longest, and heals but to wear That which disfigures it.
Lord Byron
