Tis an old lesson; time approves it true, And those who know it best, deplore it most; When all is won that all desire to woo, The paltry prize is hardly worth the cost.
Lord Byron -
My turn of mind is so given to taking things in the absurd point of view, that it breaks out in spite of me every now and then.
Lord Byron
-
Till taught by pain, men know not water's worth.
Lord Byron -
Ye stars! which are the poetry of heaven!
Lord Byron -
All tragedies are finished by a death, All comedies are ended by a marriage.

And the commencement of atonement is the sense of its necessity.
Lord Byron -
In England the only homage which they pay to Virtue - is hypocrisy.

Good work and joyous play go hand in hand. When play stops, old age begins. Play keeps you from taking life too seriously.
Lord Byron
-
I cannot conceive why people will always mix up my own character and opinions with those of the imaginary beings which, as a poet, I have the right and liberty to draw.
Lord Byron -
O thou beautiful And unimaginable ether! and Ye multiplying masses of increased And still increasing lights! what are ye? what Is this blue wilderness of interminable Air, where ye roll along, as I have seen The leaves along the limpid streams of Eden? Is your course measur'd for ye? Or do ye Sweep on in your unbounded revelry Through an aerial universe of endless Expansion,--at which my soul aches to think,-- Intoxicated with eternity.
Lord Byron -
Roll on, thou deep and dark blue ocean.
Lord Byron -

To have joy, one must share it.
Lord Byron -
You have to have a passion for your work. How can we expect people to be passionate if you, as their coach, does not have a passion? Coaching has to be something that gives you passion and energy.
Lord Byron -
...And these vicissitudes come best in youth; For when they happen at a riper age, People are apt to blame the Fates, forsooth, And wonder Providence is not more sage. Adversity is the first path to truth: He who hath proved war, storm, or woman's rage, Whether his winters be eighteen or eighty, Has won experience which is deem'd so weighty.
Lord Byron -
Tis sweet to listen as the night winds creep From leaf to leaf.
Lord Byron -
'Twas strange that one so young should thus concern His brain about the action of the sky; If you think 'twas philosophy that this did, I can't help thinking puberty assisted.
Lord Byron -
There is music in all things, if men had ears.
Lord Byron
-
A material resurrection seems strange and even absurd except for purposes of punishment, and all punishment which is to revenge rather than correct must be morally wrong, and when the World is at an end, what moral or warning purpose can eternal tortures answer?
Lord Byron -
Fill high the cup with Samian wine!
Lord Byron -
In solitude, where we are least alone.
Lord Byron -
That low vice, curiosity!
Lord Byron
