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!

More quotes by Lord Byron
Like the measles, love is most dangerous when it comes late in life.
Lord Byron
Hearts will break - yet brokenly, live on.
Lord Byron
History - the devil's scripture
Lord Byron
I learned to love despair.
Lord Byron
The English winter - ending in July to recommence in August
Lord Byron
Let us have wine and women, mirth and laughter, sermons and soda water the day after.
Lord Byron
If ancient tales say true, nor wrong these holy men.
Lord Byron
Oh that the desert were my dwelling-place, With one fair spirit for my minister
Lord Byron
A thirst for gold, The beggar's vice, which can but overwhelm The meanest hearts.
Lord Byron
They used to say that knowledge is power. I used to think so, but I know now they mean money.
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
Tis pleasant purchasing our fellow-creatures And all are to be sold, if you consider Their passions, and are dext'rous some by features Are brought up, others by a warlike leader Some by a place--as tend their years or natures The most by ready cash--but all have prices, From crowns to kicks, according to their vices.
Lord Byron
I am never long, even in the society of her I love, without yearning for the company of my lamp and my library.
Lord Byron
Tyranny Is far the worst of treasons. Dost thou deem None rebels except subjects? The prince who Neglects or violates his trust is more A brigand than the robber-chief.
Lord Byron
Earth! render back from out thy breast A remnant of our Spartan dead! Of the three hundred grant but three, To make a new Thermopylæ!
Lord Byron
But as to women, who can penetrate the real sufferings of their she condition? Man's very sympathy with their estate has much of selfishness and more suspicion. Their love, their virtue, beauty, education, but form good housekeepers, to breed a nation.
Lord Byron
Poetry should only occupy the idle.
Lord Byron
Man's conscience is the oracle of God.
Lord Byron
But stories somehow lengthen when begun.
Lord Byron
To be perfectly original one should think much and read little, and this is impossible, for one must have read before one has learnt to think.
Lord Byron
