Lord Byron Quotes

Good work and joyous play go hand in hand. When play stops, old age begins. Play keeps you from taking life too seriously Picture Quote #1

Like other parties of the kind, it was first silent, then talky, then argumentative, then disputatious, then unintelligible, then altogether, then inarticulate, and then drunk. When we had reached the last step of this glorious ladder, it was difficult to get down again without stumbling Picture Quote #1

There is something to me very softening in the presence of a woman, some strange influence, even if one is not in love with them, which I cannot at all account for, having no very high opinion of the sex. But yet, I always feel in better humor with myself and every thing else, if there is a woman within ken Picture Quote #1

I have simplified my politics into an utter detestation of all existing governments; and, as it is the shortest and most agreeable and summary feeling imaginable, the first moment of an universal republic would convert me into an advocate for single and uncontradicted despotism. The fact is, riches are power, and poverty is slavery all over the earth, and one sort of establishment is no better, nor worse, for a people than another Picture Quote #1

Now hatred is by far the longest pleasure; men love in haste but they detest at leisure Picture Quote #1

For in itself a thought, a slumbering thought, is capable of years, and curdles a long life into one hour Picture Quote #1

One certainly has a soul; but how it came to allow itself to be enclosed in a body is more than I can imagine. I only know if once mine gets out, I’ll have a bit of a tussle before I let it get in again to that of any other Picture Quote #1

When the green woods laugh with the voice of joy, and the dimpling stream runs laughing by; when the air does laugh with our merry wit, and the green hill laughs with the noise of it Picture Quote #1

For the sword outwears its sheath, and the soul wears out the breast, and the heart must pause for breath, and love itself have rest Picture Quote #1

I’ll publish right or wrong: Fools are my theme, let satire be my song Picture Quote #1

Where the virgins are soft as the roses they twine, and all, save the spirit of man, is divine? Picture Quote #1

She walks the waters like a thing of life, and seems to dare the elements to strife Picture Quote #1

A thousand years scarce serve to form a state; An hour may lay it in the dust Picture Quote #1

Such are the sages! What must they be, when such as I can stumble on their mistakes or misstatements? Picture Quote #1

And yet a little tumult, now and then, is an agreeable quickener of sensation; such as a revolution, a battle, or an adventure of any lively description Picture Quote #1

Our thoughts take the wildest flight: Even at the moment when they should arrange themselves in thoughtful order Picture Quote #1

And having wisdom with each studious year, in meditation dwelt, with learning wrought, and shaped his weapon with an edge severe, sapping a solemn creed with solemn sneer Picture Quote #1

My attachment has neither the blindness of the beginning, nor the microscopic accuracy of the close of such liaisons Picture Quote #1

I like his holiness very much, particularly since an order, which I understand he has lately given, that no more miracles shall be performed Picture Quote #1

Oh! Snatched away in beauty’s bloom, on thee shall press no ponderous tomb; but on thy turf shall roses rear their leaves, the earliest of the year Picture Quote #1

Words are things, and a small drop of ink, falling like dew upon a thought, produces that which makes thousands, perhaps millions, think Picture Quote #1

His bold brow bears but the scars of mind, the thoughts of years, not their decrepitude Picture Quote #1

Yet smelt roast meat, beheld a huge fire shine, and cooks in motion with their clean arms bared Picture Quote #1

Every fool describes in these bright days his wondrous journey to some foreign court, and spawns his quarto, and demands your praise Picture Quote #1

Around his form his loose long robe was thrown, and wrapt a breast bestowed on heaven alone Picture Quote #1

Have not all past human beings parted, and must not all the present, one day part? Picture Quote #1

He has grown aged in this world of woe, in deeds, not years, piercing the depths of life. So that no wonder waits him Picture Quote #1

The only pleasure of fame is that it proves the way to pleasure; and the more intellectual our pleasure, the better for the pleasure and for us too Picture Quote #1

Experience has taught me that the only friends we can call our own, who can have no change, are those over whom the grave has closed; the seal of death is the only seal of friendship Picture Quote #1

Upon her face there was the tint of grief, the settled shadow of an inward strife; and an unquiet drooping of the eye, as if its lid were charged with unshed tears Picture Quote #1
