Additional quotes by Lord Byron

Let no man grumble when his friends fall off,
As they will do like leaves at the first breeze:
When your affairs come round, one way or t’other,
Go to the coffee-house, and take another.

But pomp and power alone are woman's care,
And where these are light Eros finds a feere;
Maidens, like moths, are ever caught by glare,
And Mammon wins his way where Seraphs might despair.

Those who will not reason, are bigots, those who cannot, are fools, and those who dare not, are slaves.
