More quotes by Lord Byron
Admire, exult, despise, laugh, weep for here There is such matter for all feelings: Man! Thou pendulum betwixt a smile and tear.
Lord Byron
Most glorious night! Thou wert not sent for slumber!
Lord Byron
Socrates said, our only knowledge was To know that nothing could be known a pleasant Science enough, which levels to an ass Each Man of Wisdom, future, past, or present. Newton, (that Proverb of the Mind,) alas! Declared, with all his grand discoveries recent, That he himself felt only like a youth Picking up shells by the great Ocean-Truth.
Lord Byron
And those who saw, it did surprise, Such drops could fall from human eyes.
Lord Byron
Curiosity kills itself and love is only curiosity, as is proved by its end.
Lord Byron
And gentle winds and waters near, make music to the lonely ear.
Lord Byron
Land of lost gods and godlike men.
Lord Byron
No words suffice the secret soul to show, For truth denies all eloquence to woe.
Lord Byron
Yet I did love thee to the last, As ferverently as thou, Who didst not change through all the past, And canst not alter now.
Lord Byron
I would rather have a nod from an American, than a snuff- box from an emperor.
Lord Byron
Let not his mode of raising cash seem strange, Although he fleeced the flags of every nation, For into a prime minister but change His title, and 'tis nothing but taxation.
Lord Byron
But stories somehow lengthen when begun.
Lord Byron
Why I came here, I know not where I shall go it is useless to inquire - in the midst of myriads of the living and the dead worlds, stars, systems, infinity, why should I be anxious about an atom?
Lord Byron
But what is Hope? Nothing but the paint on the face of Existence the least touch of truth rubs it off, and then we see what a hollow-cheeked harlot we have got hold of.
Lord Byron
Opinions are made to be changed or how is truth to be got at?
Lord Byron
The reading or non-reading a book will never keep down a single petticoat.
Lord Byron
With thee all tales are sweet each clime has charms earth - sea alike - our world within our arms.
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
Religion-freedom-vengeance-what you will, A word's enough to raise mankind to kill.
Lord Byron
And Doubt and Discord step 'twixt thine and thee.
Lord Byron
