Image
Grief is fantastical, and loves the dead, And the apparel of the grave.
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
The French courage proceeds from vanity
Lord Byron
Image
It is singular how soon we lose the impression of what ceases to be constantly before us. A year impairs, a luster obliterates. There is little distinct left without an effort of memory, then indeed the lights are rekindled for a moment - but who can be sure that the Imagination is not the torch-bearer?
Lord Byron
Image
Life is too short for chess.
Lord Byron
Image
I was accused of every monstrous vice by public rumour and private rancour my name, which had been a knightly or noble one, was tainted. I felt that, if what was whispered, and muttered, and murmured, was true, I was unfit for England if false, England was unfit for me.
Lord Byron
Image
Absence - that common cure of love.
Lord Byron
Image
Not to admire, is all the art I know To make men happy, or to keep them so. Thus Horace wrote we all know long ago And thus Pope quotes the precept to re-teach From his translation but had none admired, Would Pope have sung, or Horace been inspired?
Lord Byron
Image
The simple Wordsworth . . . / Who, both by precept and example, shows / That prose is verse, and verse is merely prose.
Lord Byron
Image
Few things surpass old wine and they may preach Who please, the more because they preach in vain
Lord Byron
Image
Oh that the desert were my dwelling-place, With one fair spirit for my minister
Lord Byron
Image
Your thief looks Exactly like the rest, or rather better 'Tis only at the bar, and in the dungeon, That wise men know your felon by his features.
Lord Byron
Image
Fills The air around with beauty.
Lord Byron
Image
Keep thy smooth words and juggling homilies for those who know thee not.
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
I should, many a good day, have blown my brains out, but for the recollection that it would have given pleasure to my mother-in-law.
Lord Byron
Image
Most glorious night! Thou wert not sent for slumber!
Lord Byron
Image
Poetry should only occupy the idle.
Lord Byron
Image
The heart ran o'er With silent worship of the great of old!-- The dead, but sceptred sovereigns, who still rule Our spirits from their urns.
Lord Byron

Smiles form the channels of a future tear.
