More quotes by Lord Byron
What is Death, so it be but glorious? 'Tis a sunset And mortals may be happy to resemble The Gods but in decay.
Lord Byron
But there are wanderers o'er Eternity Whose bark drives on and on, and anchor'd ne'er shall be.
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
I can't but say it is an awkward sight To see one's native land receding through The growing waters it unmans one quite, Especially when life is rather new.
Lord Byron
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

Lord Byron
And hold up to the sun my little taper.

Lord Byron
Keep thy smooth words and juggling homilies for those who know thee not.
Lord Byron
And what is writ is writ - / Would it were worthier!
Lord Byron
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
Sweet is old wine in bottles, ale in barrels.
Lord Byron
Next to dressing for a rout or ball, undressing is a woe.
Lord Byron
Alas! how deeply painful is all payment!
Lord Byron
The place is very well and quiet and the children only scream in a low voice.
Lord Byron
What deep wounds ever closed without a scar? The hearts bleed longest, and heals but to wear That which disfigures it.
Lord Byron
