More quotes by Lord Byron
It has been said that the immortality of the soul is a grand peut-tre -but still it is a grand one. Everybody clings to it -the stupidest, and dullest, and wickedest of human bipeds is still persuaded that he is immortal.
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
Man is born passionate of body, but with an innate though secret tendency to the love of Good in his main-spring of Mind. But God help us all! It is at present a sad jar of atoms.
Lord Byron
Such is your cold coquette, who can't say No, And won't say Yes, and keeps you on and off-ing On a lee-shore, till it begins to blow, Then sees your heart wreck'd, with an inward scoffing.
Lord Byron
Are not the mountains, waves, and skies as much a part of me, as I of them?
Lord Byron
They truly mourn, that mourn without a witness.
Lord Byron
The 'good old times' - all times when old are good.
Lord Byron
Who then will explain the explanation?
Lord Byron
A small drop of ink makes thousands, perhaps millions... think.
Lord Byron
Perhaps the early grave Which men weep over may be meant to save.
Lord Byron
I hate all pain, Given or received we have enough within us The meanest vassal as the loftiest monarch, Not to add to each other's natural burden Of mortal misery.
Lord Byron
America is a model of force and freedom and moderation - with all the coarseness and rudeness of its people.
Lord Byron
Our life is two fold Sleep hath its own world, A boundary between the things misnamed Death and existence Sleep hath its own world, And a wide realm of wild reality.
Lord Byron
I have a great mind to believe in Christianity for the mere pleasure of fancying I may be damned.
Lord Byron
There are some feelings time cannot benumb, Nor torture shake.
Lord Byron
I cannot help thinking that the menace of Hell makes as many devils as the severe penal codes of inhuman humanity make villains.
Lord Byron
A thirst for gold, The beggar's vice, which can but overwhelm The meanest hearts.
Lord Byron
The French courage proceeds from vanity
Lord Byron
This man is freed from servile bands, Of hope to rise, or fear to fall Lord of himself, though not of lands, And leaving nothing, yet hath all.
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
