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.
Letitia Elizabeth Landon
Perhaps, from an innate desire of justification, sorrow always exaggerates itself. Memory is quite one of Job's friends and the past is ever ready to throw its added darkness on the present.
Letitia Elizabeth Landon
habit is our idea of eternity.
Letitia Elizabeth Landon
There is no denying that there are 'royal roads' through existence for the upper classes for them, at least, the highways are macadamized, swept, and watered.
Letitia Elizabeth Landon
It is said that ridicule is the test of truth: it is never applied, but when we wish to deceive ourselves.
Letitia Elizabeth Landon
My tears are buried in my heart, like cave-locked fountains sleeping.
Letitia Elizabeth Landon
