Always laugh when you can. It is cheap medicine.
Lord Byron
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.
Lord Byron
How sweet and soothing is this hour of calm! I thank thee, night! for thou has chased away these horrid bodements which, amidst the throng, I could not dissipate; and with the blessing of thy benign and quiet influence now will I to my couch, although to rest is almost wronging such a night as this.
Lord Byron
Oh! too convincing - dangerously dear - In woman's eye the unanswerable tear!
Lord Byron, The Corsair (1814)
I'll publish right or wrong. Fools are my theme, let satire be my song.
Lord Byron (1788 - 1824)
All who would win joy, must share it; happiness was born a twin.
Lord Byron (1788 - 1824)
With just enough of learning to misquote.
Lord Byron (1788 - 1824)
Goodnight
Lord Byron (1788 - 1824), last words
What men call gallantry and gods adultery Is much more common where the climate's sultry.
Lord Byron (1788 - 1824)
Now hatred is by far the longest pleasure; Men love in haste, but they detest at leisure.
Lord Byron (1788 - 1824)
The drying up a single tear has more of honest fame than shedding seas of gore.
Lord Byron (1788 - 1824)
Society is now one polished horde, --- Formed of two mighty tribes, the Bores and Bored.
Lord Byron (1788 - 1824), Don Juan
There is something Pagan in me that I cannot shake off. In short, I deny nothing, but doubt everything.
In solitude, where we are least alone.
To withdraw myself from myself has ever been my sole, my entire, my sincere motive in scribbling at all.
