More quotes by Lord Byron
May Moorland weavers boast Pindaric skill, And tailors' lays be longer than their bill! While punctual beaux reward the grateful notes, And pay for poems--when they pay for coats.
Lord Byron
I doubt sometimes whether a quiet and unagitated life would have suited me - yet I sometimes long for it.
Lord Byron
This is the patent-age of new inventions For killing bodies, and for saving souls, All propagated with the best intentions Sir Humphrey Davy's lantern, by which coals Are safely mined for in the mode he mentions, Tombuctoo travels, voyages to the Poles, Are ways to benefit mankind, as true, Perhaps, as shooting them at Waterloo.
Lord Byron
Then stirs the feeling infinite, so felt In solitude, where we are least alone.
Lord Byron
Man's conscience is the oracle of God.
Lord Byron
Many are poets, but without the nameFor what is Poesy but to createFrom overfeeling Good or Ill and aimAt an external life beyond our fate,And be the new Prometheus of new men,Bestowing fire from Heaven, and then, too late,Finding the pleasure given repaid with pain
Lord Byron
I suppose we shall soon travel by air-vessels make air instead of sea voyages and at length find our way to the moon, in spite of the want of atmosphere.
Lord Byron
What's drinking? A mere pause from thinking!
Lord Byron
We have fools in all sects, and impostors in most why should I believe mysteries no one can understand, because written by men who chose to mistake madness for inspiration and style themselves Evangelicals?
Lord Byron
In itself a thought, a slumbering thought is capable of years and curdles a long life into one hour.
Lord Byron
The premises are so delightfully extensive, that two people might live together without ever seeing, hearing or meeting.
Lord Byron
Ye stars! which are the poetry of heaven!
Lord Byron
The place is very well and quiet and the children only scream in a low voice.
Lord Byron
It is when we think we lead that we are most led.
Lord Byron
'Twas strange that one so young should thus concern His brain about the action of the sky If you think 'twas philosophy that this did, I can't help thinking puberty assisted.
Lord Byron
The French courage proceeds from vanity
Lord Byron
A timid mind is apt to mistake every scratch for a mortal wound.
Lord Byron
The great art of life is sensation, to feel that we exist, even in pain.
Lord Byron
All human history attests That happiness for man, - the hungry sinner! - Since Eve ate apples, much depends on dinner. ~Lord Byron, Don Juan, Canto XIII, stanza 99
Lord Byron
I am surrounded here by parsons and methodists, but as you will see, not infested with the mania.
Lord Byron
