Lord Byron

"Always laugh when you can. It is cheap medicine. "

"For the sword outwears its sheath, And the soul wears out the breast, And the heart must pause for breath, And love itself have rest. "

"How sweet and soothing is this hour of calm I thank thee, night for thou has chased away these horrid bodements which, amidst the throng, I could not dissipate and with the blessing of thy benign and quiet influence now will I to my couch, although to rest is almost wronging such a night as this. "

"Oh too convincing - dangerously dear - In woman's eye the unanswerable tear "

"Poetry is the lava of the imagination whose eruption prevents an earthquake. "
