Lord ByronLord Byron Self praise is no praise at all.
Lord ByronLord Byron I live, but live to die: and, living, see nothing to make death hateful, save an innate clinging, a loathsome and yet all invincible instinct of life, which I abhor, as I despise myself, yet cannot overcome – and so I live. Would I had never lived!
Lord ByronLord Byron You gave me the key to your heart, my love, then why did you make me knock?
Lord ByronLord Byron I have great hopes that we shall love each other all our lives as much as if we had never married at all.
Lord ByronLord Byron Tyranny is for the worst of treasons.
Lord ByronLord Byron A timid mind is apt to mistake every scratch for a mortal wound.
Lord ByronLord Byron Roll on, deep and dark blue ocean, roll. Ten thousand fleets sweep over thee in vain. Man marks the earth with ruin, but his control stops with the shore.
Lord ByronLord Byron Let us have wine and women, mirth and laughter, sermons and soda water the day after.
