← All quotes by Lord Byron

6 quotes

Friendship may, and often does, grow into love, but love never subsides into friendship.

It is not for minds like ours to give or to receive flattery; yet the praises of sincerity have ever been permitted to the voice of friendship.

Friendship is Love without wings.

Ah! were I sever'd from thy side,
Where were thy friend and who my guide?
Years have not seen, Time shall not see
The hour that tears my soul from thee.

Bride of Abydos (1813)

Friendship is Love without his wings!

In friendship I early was taught to believe;
* * * * * *
I have found that a friend may profess, yet deceive.
