Additional quotes by Lord Byron

They never fail who die in a great cause.

I want a hero: an uncommon want,
When every year and month sends forth a new one,
Till, after cloying the gazettes with cant,
The age discovers he is not the true one:

A woman being never at a loss... the devil always sticks by them.
