Quote

Which cheers the sad, revives the old, inspires The young, makes Weariness forget his toil, And Fear her danger opens a new world When this, the present, palls.

More quotes by Lord Byron

Image
A material resurrection seems strange and even absurd except for purposes of punishment, and all punishment which is to revenge rather than correct must be morally wrong, and when the World is at an end, what moral or warning purpose can eternal tortures answer?
Lord Byron
Image
I have always laid it down as a maxim -and found it justified by experience -that a man and a woman make far better friendships than can exist between two of the same sex -but then with the condition that they never have made or are to make love to each other.
Lord Byron
Image
Let no man grumble when his friends fall off, As they will do like leaves at the first breeze When your affairs come round, one way or t'other, Go to the coffee house, and take another.
Lord Byron
Image
You should have a softer pillow than my heart.
Lord Byron
Image
Ah, nut-brown partridges! Ah, brilliant pheasants! And ah, ye poachers!--'Tis no sport for peasants.
Lord Byron
Image
Fill high the cup with Samian wine!
Lord Byron
Image
Folly loves the martyrdom of fame.
Lord Byron
Image
I am surrounded here by parsons and methodists, but as you will see, not infested with the mania.
Lord Byron
Image
Keep thy smooth words and juggling homilies for those who know thee not.
Lord Byron
Image
Life is too short for chess.
Lord Byron
Image
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
Image
A man of eighty has outlived probably three new schools of painting, two of architecture and poetry and a hundred in dress.
Lord Byron
Image
Grief is fantastical, and loves the dead, And the apparel of the grave.
Lord Byron
Image
Yet he was jealous, though he did not show it, For jealousy dislikes the world to know it.
Lord Byron
Image
Venice once was dear, The pleasant place of all festivity, The revel of the earth, the masque of Italy.
Lord Byron
Image
Always laugh when you can. It is cheap medicine.
Lord Byron
Image
For the night Shows stars and women in a better light.
Lord Byron
Image
Death, so called, is a thing which makes men weep, And yet a third of life is passed in sleep.
Lord Byron
Image
In general I do not draw well with literary men -- not that I dislike them but I never know what to say to them after I have praised their last publication.
Lord Byron
Image
Though sages may pour out their wisdom's treasure, there is no sterner moralist than pleasure.
Lord Byron
