Lord Byron

Yes! Ready money is Aladdin's lamp.

There is something pagan in me that I cannot shake off. In short, I deny nothing, but doubt everything.

Self praise is no praise at all.

I deny nothing, but doubt everything.

There is something pagan in me that I cannot shake off.

I have a great mind to believe in Christianity for the mere pleasure of fancying I may be damned.

The great object of life is sensation- to feel that we exist, even though in pain.

If I do not write to empty my mind, I go mad.

What men call gallantry and gods adultery Is much more common where the climate's sultry.

I am no Platonist, I am nothing at all; but I would sooner be a Paulician, Manichean, Spinozist, Gentile, Pyrrhonian, Zoroastrian, than one of the seventy-two villainous sects tearing each other to pieces for the love of the Lord and hatred of each other.

The basis of your religion is injustice. The Son of God, the pure, the immaculate, the innocent, is sacrificed for the guilty.

If people are to live, why die? And are our carcasses worth raising? I hope, if mine is, I shall have a better pair of legs than I have moved on these two-and-twenty years, or I shall be sadly behind in the squeeze into Paradise.

All the pious deeds performed on Earth can never entitle a man to everlasting happiness.

Christ came to save men, but a good Pagan will go to heaven and a bad Nazarene to hell. If mankind who never heard or dreamt of Galilee and its Prophet may be saved, Christianity is of no avail.

In morality, I prefer Confucius to the ten Commandments and Socrates to St. Paul.

God would have made his Will known without books, considering how very few could read when Jesus of Nazareth lived, had it been His pleasure to ratify any peculiar mode of worship.
