When people say, 'I've told you fifty times',
They mean to scold, and very often do;
When poets say, 'I've written fifty rhymes',
They make you dread that they'll recite them too

Additional quotes by Lord Byron

When a man hath no freedom to fight for at home, Let him combat for that of his neighbours;
Let him think of the glories of Greece and of Rome And get knock'd on the head for his labours.
To do good to mankind is the chivalrous plan, And is always as nobly requited;
Then battle for freedom wherever you can. And, if not shot or hang'd, you'll get knighted.
