More quotes by Lord Byron

Image
Religion-freedom-vengeance-what you will, A word's enough to raise mankind to kill.
Lord Byron
Image
Smiles form the channels of a future tear.
Lord Byron
Image
Which cheers the sad, revives the old, inspires The young, makes Weariness forget his toil, And Fear her danger opens a new world When this, the present, palls.
Lord Byron
Image
Absence - that common cure of love.
Lord Byron
Image
Be hypocritical, be cautious, be not what you seem but always what you see.
Lord Byron
Image
Better to sink beneath the shock Than moulder piecemeal on the rock!
Lord Byron
Image
There are some feelings time cannot benumb, Nor torture shake.
Lord Byron
Image
Then stirs the feeling infinite, so felt In solitude, where we are least alone.
Lord Byron
Image
For what were all these country patriots born? To hunt, and vote, and raise the price of corn?
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
Folly loves the martyrdom of fame.
Lord Byron
Image
But mighty Nature bounds as from her birth The sun is in the heavens, and life on earth: Flowers in the valley, splendor in the beam, Health on the gale, and freshness in the stream.
Lord Byron
Image
If a man proves too clearly and convincingly to himself...that a tiger is an optical illusion--well, he will find out he is wrong. The tiger will himself intervene in the discussion, in a manner which will be in every sense conclusive.
Lord Byron
Image
Above or Love, Hope, Hate or Fear, It lives all passionless and pure: An age shall fleet like earthly year Its years in moments shall endure. Away, away, without a wing, O'er all, through all, its thought shall fly A nameless and eternal thing, Forgetting what it was to die.
Lord Byron
Image
A little still she strove, and much repented, And whispering “I will ne'er consent”—consented.
Lord Byron
Image
No words suffice the secret soul to show, For truth denies all eloquence to woe.
Lord Byron
Image
What is Death, so it be but glorious? 'Tis a sunset And mortals may be happy to resemble The Gods but in decay.
Lord Byron
Image
Perhaps the early grave Which men weep over may be meant to save.
Lord Byron
Image
Always laugh when you can. It is cheap medicine.
Lord Byron
Image
Man, being reasonable, must get drunk the best of life is but intoxication.
Lord Byron
