More quotes by Lord Byron
Retirement accords with the tone of my mind I will not descend to a world I despise.
Lord Byron
With thee all tales are sweet each clime has charms earth - sea alike - our world within our arms.
Lord Byron
The light of love, the purity of grace, The mind, the Music breathing from her face, The heart whose softness harmonised the whole — And, oh! that eye was in itself a Soul!
Lord Byron
Grief is fantastical, and loves the dead, And the apparel of the grave.
Lord Byron
Nothing so difficult as a beginning In poesy, unless perhaps the end.
Lord Byron
Despair and Genius are too oft connected
Lord Byron
But words are things, and a small drop of ink, Falling like dew, upon a thought, produces That which makes thousands, perhaps millions, think.
Lord Byron
What men call gallantry, and gods adultery, is much more common where the climate's sultry.
Lord Byron
Who then will explain the explanation?
Lord Byron
I know that two and two make four - and should be glad to prove it too if I could - though I must say if by any sort of process I could convert 2 and 2 into five it would give me much greater pleasure.
Lord Byron
I really cannot know whether I am or am not the Genius you are pleased to call me, but I am very willing to put up with the mistake, if it be one.
Lord Byron
Jealousy dislikes the world to know it.
Lord Byron
Better to sink beneath the shock Than moulder piecemeal on the rock!
Lord Byron
I would rather have a nod from an American, than a snuff- box from an emperor.
Lord Byron
Though sages may pour out their wisdom's treasure, there is no sterner moralist than pleasure.
Lord Byron
Fair Greece! sad relic of departed worth! Immortal, though no more! though fallen, great!
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
Years steal fire from the mind as vigor from the limb and life's enchanted cup but sparkles near the brim.
Lord Byron
We have fools in all sects, and impostors in most why should I believe mysteries no one can understand, because written by men who chose to mistake madness for inspiration and style themselves Evangelicals?
Lord Byron
Man is in part divine, A troubled stream from a pure source.
Lord Byron
