There is the moral of all human tales;
’Tis but the same rehearsal of the past,
First Freedom, and then Glory — when that fails,
Wealth, vice, corruption, barbarism at last.
And History, with all her volumes vast,

Additional quotes by Lord Byron

In secret we met
In silence I grieve,
That thy heart could forget,
Thy spirit deceive.

While common men grow ignorantly old,
The lawyer's brief is like the surgeon's knife,
Dissecting the whole inside of a question,
And with it all the process of digestion.

I'll publish right or wrong:
Fools are my theme, let satire be my song.
