They used to say that knowledge is power. I used to think so, but I know now they mean money.
Lord Byron
Image
In England the only homage which they pay to Virtue - is hypocrisy.
Lord Byron
Image
The mind can make substance, and people planets of its own with beings brighter than have been, and give a breath to forms which can outlive all flesh.

Lord Byron
Image
Scion of chiefs and monarchs, where art thou? Fond hope of many nations, art thou dead? Could not the grave forget thee, and lay low Some less majestic, less beloved head?
Lord Byron
Image
Poetry should only occupy the idle.
Lord Byron

Lord Byron
Image
Smiles form the channels of a future tear.
Lord Byron
Image
The 'good old times' - all times when old are good.
Lord Byron
Image
Now what I love in women is, they won't Or can't do otherwise than lie, but do it. So well, the very truth seems falsehood to it.
Lord Byron
Image
Bologna is celebrated for producing popes, painters, and sausage.
Lord Byron
Image
Hatred is the madness of the heart.
Lord Byron
Image
Admire, exult, despise, laugh, weep for here There is such matter for all feelings: Man! Thou pendulum betwixt a smile and tear.
Lord Byron
Image
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
Image
A change came o'er the spirit of my dream.
Lord Byron
Image
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
Image
Ada! sole daughter of my house and heart.
Lord Byron
Image
They truly mourn, that mourn without a witness.
