None are so desolate but something dear, Dearer than self, possesses or possess'd A thought, and claims the homage of a tear.

More quotes by Lord Byron
It is not one man nor a million, but the spirit of liberty that must be preserved. The waves which dash upon the shore are, one by one, broken, but the ocean conquers nevertheless. It overwhelms the Armada, it wears out the rock. In like manner, whatever the struggle of individuals, the great cause will gather strength.
Lord Byron
Though I love my country, I do not love my countrymen.
Lord Byron
[Armenian] is a rich language, however, and would amply repay any one the trouble of learning it.
Lord Byron
Better to sink beneath the shock Than moulder piecemeal on the rock!
Lord Byron
Switzerland is a curst, selfish, swinish country of brutes, placed in the most romantic region of the world.
Lord Byron
Fame is the thirst of youth.
Lord Byron
I die but first I have possessed, And come what may, I have been blessed.
Lord Byron
I would rather have a nod from an American, than a snuff- box from an emperor.
Lord Byron
Send me no more reviews of any kind. I will read no more of evil or good in that line. Walter Scott has not read a review of himself for thirteen years .
Lord Byron
'Twas strange that one so young should thus concern His brain about the action of the sky If you think 'twas philosophy that this did, I can't help thinking puberty assisted.
Lord Byron
I cannot conceive why people will always mix up my own character and opinions with those of the imaginary beings which, as a poet, I have the right and liberty to draw.
Lord Byron
He who is only just is cruel who Upon the earth would live were all judged justly?
Lord Byron
Eat, drink and love...the rest is not worth a nickel
Lord Byron
There's naught, no doubt, so much the spirit calms as rum and true religion.
Lord Byron
What is the worst of woes that wait on age? What stamps the wrinkle deeper on the brow? To view each loved one blotted from life's page, And be alone on earth, as I am now.
Lord Byron
Roll on, deep and dark blue ocean, roll. Ten thousand fleets sweep over thee in vain. Man marks the earth with ruin, but his control stops with the shore.
Lord Byron
The devil was the first democrat
Lord Byron
Religion-freedom-vengeance-what you will, A word's enough to raise mankind to kill.
Lord Byron
My native land, good night!
Lord Byron
O ye! who teach the ingenious youth of nations, Holland, France, England, Germany or Spain, I pray ye flog them upon all occasions, It mends their morals, never mind the pain.
Lord Byron
