More quotes by Lord Byron
The world is a bundle of hay, Mankind are the asses that pull, Each tugs in a different way And the greatest of all is John Bull!
Lord Byron
I hate all pain, Given or received we have enough within us The meanest vassal as the loftiest monarch, Not to add to each other's natural burden Of mortal misery.
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
But what is Hope? Nothing but the paint on the face of Existence the least touch of truth rubs it off, and then we see what a hollow-cheeked harlot we have got hold of.
Lord Byron
You should have a softer pillow than my heart.
Lord Byron
Keep thy smooth words and juggling homilies for those who know thee not.
Lord Byron
Who tracks the steps of glory to the grave?
Lord Byron
Man's conscience is the oracle of God.
Lord Byron
To withdraw myself from myself has ever been my sole, my entire, my sincere motive in scribbling at all.
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
Like the measles, love is most dangerous when it comes late in life.
Lord Byron
Hearts will break - yet brokenly, live on.
Lord Byron
A drop of ink may make a million think.
Lord Byron
I have no consistency, except in politics and that probably arises from my indifference to the subject altogether.
Lord Byron
Dead scandals form good subjects for dissection.
Lord Byron
Few things surpass old wine and they may preach Who please, the more because they preach in vain
Lord Byron
Ah, nut-brown partridges! Ah, brilliant pheasants! And ah, ye poachers!--'Tis no sport for peasants.
Lord Byron
A quiet conscience makes one so serene.
Lord Byron
Nor all that heralds rake from coffin'd clay, Nor florid prose, nor honied lies of rhyme, Can blazon evil deeds, or consecrate a crime.
Lord Byron
Earth! render back from out thy breast A remnant of our Spartan dead! Of the three hundred grant but three, To make a new Thermopylæ!
Lord Byron
