I depart, Whither I know not but the hour's gone by When Albion's lessening shores could grieve or glad mine eye.

More quotes by 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
The fact is that my wife if she had common sense would have more power over me than any other whatsoever, for my heart always alights upon the nearest perch.
Lord Byron
A thirst for gold, The beggar's vice, which can but overwhelm The meanest hearts.
Lord Byron
The devil hath not, in all his quiver's choice, An arrow for the heart like a sweet voice.
Lord Byron
You gave me the key to your heart, my love, then why did you make me knock?
Lord Byron
I have great hopes that we shall love each other all our lives as much as if we had never married at all.
Lord Byron
Sometimes we are less unhappy in being deceived by those we love, than in being undeceived by them.
Lord Byron
Think you, if Laura had been Petrarch's wife, He would have written sonnets all his life?.
Lord Byron
But 'midst the crowd, the hum, the shock of men, To hear, to see, to feel, and to possess, And roam along, the world's tired denizen, With none who bless us, none whom we can bless.
Lord Byron
The French courage proceeds from vanity
Lord Byron
Jealousy dislikes the world to know it.
Lord Byron
I really cannot know whether I am or am not the Genius you are pleased to call me, but I am very willing to put up with the mistake, if it be one.
Lord Byron
Tis an old lesson time approves it true, And those who know it best, deplore it most When all is won that all desire to woo, The paltry prize is hardly worth the cost.
Lord Byron
But there are wanderers o'er Eternity Whose bark drives on and on, and anchor'd ne'er shall be.
Lord Byron
Scion of chiefs and monarchs, where art thou? Fond hope of many nations, art thou dead? Could not the grave forget thee, and lay low Some less majestic, less beloved head?
Lord Byron
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
They used to say that knowledge is power. I used to think so, but I know now they mean money.
Lord Byron
Happiness was born a twin.
Lord Byron
O Fame! if I ever took delight in thy praises, Twas less for the sake of thy high-sounding phrases, Than to see the bright eyes of the dear one discover The thought that I was not unworthy to love her.
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
