Quote

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.

Man's conscience is the oracle of God.
Lord Byron
Image
Eternity forbids thee to forget.
Lord Byron
Image
Parting day Dies like the dolphin, whom each pang imbues With a new colour as it gasps away, The last still loveliest, till-'t is gone, and all is gray.
Lord Byron
Image
'Twas strange that one so young should thus concern His brain about the action of the sky If you think 'twas philosophy that this did, I can't help thinking puberty assisted.
Lord Byron
Image
Nothing so difficult as a beginning In poesy, unless perhaps the end.
Lord Byron
Image
Eternal Spirit of the chainless Mind! Brightest in dungeons, Liberty! thou art, For there thy habitation is the heart-- The heart which love of thee alone can bind And when thy sons to fetters are consign'd-- To fetters and damp vault's dayless gloom, Their country conquers with their martyrdom.
Lord Byron
Image
Fools are my theme, let satire be my song.
Lord Byron
Image
This quiet sail is as a noiseless wing To waft me from distraction.
Lord Byron
Image
Now I shall go to sleep. Goodnight.
Lord Byron
Image
The truly brave are soft of heart and eyes, and feel for what their duty bids them do.
Lord Byron
Image
I cannot conceive why people will always mix up my own character and opinions with those of the imaginary beings which, as a poet, I have the right and liberty to draw.
Lord Byron
Image
Alas! how deeply painful is all payment!
Lord Byron
Image
The law of heaven and earth is life for life.
Lord Byron
Image
It is the lava of the imagination whose eruption prevents an earthquake.
Lord Byron
Image
Man is born passionate of body, but with an innate though secret tendency to the love of Good in his main-spring of Mind. But God help us all! It is at present a sad jar of atoms.
Lord Byron
Image
Every day confirms my opinion on the superiority of a vicious life, and if Virtue is not its own reward, I don't know any other stipend annexed to it.
Lord Byron
Image
That famish'd people must be slowly nurst, and fed by spoonfuls, else they always burst.
Lord Byron
Image
For the night Shows stars and women in a better light.
Lord Byron
Image
The stars are forth, the moon above the tops Of the snow-shining mountains--beautiful! I linger yet with nature, for the night Hath been to me a more familiar face Than that of man, and in her starry shade Of dim and solitary loveliness I learned the language of another world.
Lord Byron

But stories somehow lengthen when begun.
