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
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
Prolonged endurance tames the bold.
Lord Byron
The world is a bundle of hay, Mankind are the asses that pull, Each tugs in a different way And the greatest of all is John Bull!
Lord Byron
Between two worlds life hovers like a star, twixt night and morn, upon the horizon's verge.
Lord Byron

Lord Byron
I am never long, even in the society of her I love, without yearning for the company of my lamp and my library.
Lord Byron

Lord Byron
Yet I did love thee to the last, As ferverently as thou, Who didst not change through all the past, And canst not alter now.
Lord Byron
I am acquainted with no immaterial sensuality so delightful as good acting.
Lord Byron
There is music in all things, if men had ears.
Lord Byron
What's drinking? A mere pause from thinking!
Lord Byron
Ah, nut-brown partridges! Ah, brilliant pheasants! And ah, ye poachers!--'Tis no sport for peasants.
Lord Byron
The lapse of ages changes all things - time, language, the earth, the bounds of the sea, the stars of the sky, and every thing about, around, and underneath man, except man himself.
Lord Byron
Letter writing is the only device combining solitude with good company.
Lord Byron
Sweet is old wine in bottles, ale in barrels.
Lord Byron
Keep thy smooth words and juggling homilies for those who know thee not.
Lord Byron
A thirst for gold, The beggar's vice, which can but overwhelm The meanest hearts.
Lord Byron
Of religion I know nothing -- at least, in its favor.
Lord Byron
Men love in haste, but they detest at leisure.
Lord Byron
