More quotes by Lord Byron
Sighing that Nature formed but one such man, and broke the die.
Lord Byron
Truth is a gem that is found at a great depth whilst on the surface of the world all things are weighed by the false scale of custom.
Lord Byron
And gentle winds and waters near, make music to the lonely ear.
Lord Byron
The art of angling, the cruelest, the coldest and the stupidest of pretended sports.
Lord Byron
A timid mind is apt to mistake every scratch for a mortal wound.
Lord Byron
And dreams in their development have breath, And tears, and tortures, and the touch of joy They have a weight upon our waking thoughts, They take a weight from off our waking toils, They do divide our being.
Lord Byron
In commitment, we dash the hopes of a thousand potential selves.
Lord Byron
Near this spot are deposited the remains of one who possessed beauty without vanity, strength without insolence, courage without ferocity, and all the virtues of man, without his vices. This praise, which would be unmeaning flattery if inscribed over human ashes, is but a just tribute to the memory of Botswain, a dog.
Lord Byron
The law of heaven and earth is life for life.
Lord Byron
A good coach encourages the same type of resilience in the people they work with. They encourage them to take risks. If the risk results in failure, they help all people to learn from the mistake and then go on to try another way.
Lord Byron
Father of Light! great God of Heaven! Hear'st thou the accents of despair? Can guilt like man's be e'er forgiven? Can vice atone for crimes by prayer.
Lord Byron
Oh that the desert were my dwelling-place, With one fair spirit for my minister
Lord Byron
I have not loved the World, nor the World me I have not flattered its rank breath, nor bowed To its idolatries a patient knee, Nor coined my cheek to smiles,-nor cried aloud In worship of an echo.
Lord Byron
Few things surpass old wine and they may preach Who please, the more because they preach in vain
Lord Byron
Age shakes Athena's tower, but spares gray Marathon.
Lord Byron
Man's conscience is the oracle of God.
Lord Byron
The reason that adulation is not displeasing is that, though untrue, it shows one to be of consequence enough, in one way or other, to induce people to lie.
Lord Byron
Nor all that heralds rake from coffin'd clay, Nor florid prose, nor honied lies of rhyme, Can blazon evil deeds, or consecrate a crime.
Lord Byron
There's naught, no doubt, so much the spirit calms as rum and true religion.
Lord Byron
Eternity forbids thee to forget.
Lord Byron
