This quiet sail is as a noiseless wing To waft me from distraction.

Lord Byron
Image
There is something to me very softening in the presence of a woman, some strange influence, even if one is not in love with them, which I cannot at all account for, having no very high opinion of the sex. But yet, I always feel in better humor with myself and every thing else, if there is a woman within ken.
Lord Byron
Image
If I could always read, I should never feel the want of company.
Lord Byron
Image
Think'st thou existence doth depend on time? It doth but actions are our epochs.
Lord Byron
Image
So sweet the blush of bashfulness, E'en pity scarce can wish it less!
Lord Byron
Image
There's naught, no doubt, so much the spirit calms as rum and true religion.
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
It is when we think we lead that we are most led.
Lord Byron
Image
I am always most religious upon a sunshiny day.
Lord Byron
Image
I loved my country, and I hated him.
