More quotes by Lord Byron
When age chills the blood, when our pleasures are past - For years fleet away with the wings of the dove - The dearest remembrance will still be the last, Our sweetest memorial the first kiss of love.
Lord Byron
Yon Sun that sets upon the sea We follow in his flight Farewell awhile to him and thee, My native land-Good Night!
Lord Byron
Now what I love in women is, they won't Or can't do otherwise than lie, but do it. So well, the very truth seems falsehood to it.
Lord Byron
Man, being reasonable, must get drunk the best of life is but intoxication.
Lord Byron
Friendship may, and often does, grow into love, but love never subsides into friendship.
Lord Byron
Know ye the land where the cypress and myrtle Are emblems of deeds that are done in their clime? Where the rage of the vulture, the love of the turtle, Now melt into sorrow, now madden to crime!
Lord Byron
The reading or non-reading a book will never keep down a single petticoat.
Lord Byron
Man is a carnivorous production, And must have meals, at least one meal a day He cannot live, like woodcocks, upon suction, But, like the shark and tiger, must have prey Although his anatomical construction Bears vegetables, in a grumbling way, Your laboring people think beyond all question, Beef, veal, and mutton better for digestion.
Lord Byron
A pretty woman is a welcome guest.
Lord Byron
Like to the apples on the Dead Sea's shore, All ashes to the taste.
Lord Byron
This is the patent age of new inventions for killing bodies, and for saving souls. All propagated with the best intentions.
Lord Byron
A little still she strove, and much repented, And whispering “I will ne'er consent”—consented.
Lord Byron
And the commencement of atonement is the sense of its necessity.
Lord Byron
And gentle winds and waters near, make music to the lonely ear.
Lord Byron
I speak not of men's creeds—they rest between Man and his Maker.
Lord Byron
The great art of life is sensation, to feel that we exist, even in pain.
Lord Byron
I should like to know who has been carried off, except poor dear me - I have been more ravished myself than anybody since the Trojan war.
Lord Byron
It is useless to tell one not to reason but to believe you might as well tell a man not to wake but sleep.
Lord Byron
Then rose from sea to sky the wild farewell Then shriek'd the timid, and stood still the brave, Then some leap'd overboard with fearful yell, As eager to anticipate their grave.
Lord Byron
And Doubt and Discord step 'twixt thine and thee.
Lord Byron
