Quotations By Lord Byron


Adversity
Adversity is the first path to truth.

Avarice
So for a good old-gentlemanly vice, I think I must take up with avarice.

Books
'Tis pleasant, sure, to see one's name in print; A book's a book, although there's nothing in't.

Danger
Danger levels man and brute, and all are fellows in their need.

Death
Death, so called, is a thing which makes men weep, And yet a third of life is passed in sleep.

Dreams
I had a dream, which was not all a dream.

Eternity
Eternity forbids thee to forget.

Fame
O Fame! if I e'er took delight in thy praises, 'Twas less for the sake of thy high-sounding phrases, Than to see the bright eyes of the dear one discover The thought that I was not unworthy to love her. -- Lord Byron

Honesty
And, after all, what is a lie? 'Tis but the truth in a masquerade. -- George Gordon, Lord Byron

Idleness
Society is now one polished horde, Formed of two mighty tribes, the Bores and the Bored.

Joy
There's not a joy the world can give like that it takes away.

Justice
He who is only just is cruel. Who on earth could live were all judged justly? -- Lord Byron

Laughter
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. -- Lord Byron

Love
Let none think to fly the danger for soon or late love is his own avenger.

Love
Yes, Love indeed is light from heaven; A spark of that immortal fire with angels shared, by Allah given to lift from earth our low desire.

Love
'Tis sweet to know there is an eye will mark our coming, and look brighter when we come.

Marriage
I have great hopes that we shall love each other all our lives as much as if we had never married at all.

Parting
Fare thee well! and if for ever, Still for ever, fare thee well. -- Lord Byron

Success
He who surpasses or subdues mankind, must look down on the hate of those below.

Thoughts
The power of Thought, the magic of the Mind! -- Lord Byron

Voice
The tenor's voice is spoilt by affectation, And for the bass, the beast can only bellow; In fact, he had no singing education, An ignorant, noteless, timeless, tuneless fellow. -- Lord Byron

Wealth
O gold! I still prefer thee unto paper which makes bank credit like a bank of vapour. -- George Gordon, Lord Byron
