Letitia Elizabeth Landon
Habit is a second nature, and what was at first pleasure, is next necessity.
Letitia Elizabeth Landon
... many a heart is caught in the rebound ... Pride may be soothed by the ready devotion of another vanity may be excited the more keenly by recent mortification.
Letitia Elizabeth Landon

Letitia Elizabeth Landon
We are rarely wrong when we act from impulse.
Letitia Elizabeth Landon
I hate the word 'ought' - it always implies something dull, cold, and commonplace. The 'ought nots' of life are its pleasantest things.
