Oh! too convincing--dangerously dear-- In woman's eye the unanswerable tear! That weapon of her weakness she can wield, To save, subdue--at once her spear and shield.
Lord Byron

More quotes by Lord Byron
In England the only homage which they pay to Virtue - is hypocrisy.
Lord Byron
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
This is the patent age of new inventions for killing bodies, and for saving souls. All propagated with the best intentions.
Lord Byron
I should be very willing to redress men wrongs, and rather check than punish crimes, had not Cervantes, in that all too true tale of Quixote, shown how all such efforts fail.
Lord Byron
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
Better to sink beneath the shock Than moulder piecemeal on the rock!
Lord Byron
What is fame? The advantage of being known by people of whom you yourself know nothing, and for whom you care as little.
Lord Byron
Think you, if Laura had been Petrarch's wife, He would have written sonnets all his life?.
Lord Byron
'Tis pleasant, sure, to see one's name in print. A book's a book, although there's nothing in 't.
Lord Byron
Though the day of my Destiny 's over, And the star of my Fate hath declined, Thy soft heart refused to discover The faults which so many could find.
Lord Byron
I am so convinced of the advantages of looking at mankind instead of reading about them, . . . that I think there should be a law amongst us to set our young men abroad for a term among the few allies our wars have left us.
Lord Byron
To chase the glowing hours with flying feet.
Lord Byron
Yet smelt roast meat, beheld a huge fire shine, And cooks in motion with their clean arms bared.
Lord Byron
But every fool describes, in these bright days, His wondrous journey to some foreign court, And spawns his quarto, and demands your praise,-- Death to his publisher, to him 'tis sport.
Lord Byron
I would rather have a nod from an American, than a snuff- box from an emperor.
Lord Byron
Have not all past human beings parted, And must not all the present, one day part?
Lord Byron
I slept and dreamt that life was beauty I woke and found that life was duty.
Lord Byron
Champagne with its foaming whirls/As white as Cleopatra's pearls.
Lord Byron
Pleasure's a sin, and sometimes sin's a pleasure.
Lord Byron
If I don't write to empty my mind, I go mad. As to that regular, uninterrupted love of writing. I do not understand it. I feel it as a torture, which I must get rid of, but never as a pleasure. On the contrary, I think composition a great pain.
Lord Byron
