Letitia Elizabeth Landon
Of all false assertions that ever went into the world under the banner of a great name and the mail armor of a well-turned phrase, Locke's comparison of the mind to a blank sheet of paper appears to me among the most untrue.
Letitia Elizabeth Landon
How very satisfactory those discussions must be, where each party retains their own opinion!
Letitia Elizabeth Landon
habit is our idea of eternity.
Letitia Elizabeth Landon
All beginnings are very troublesome things.
Letitia Elizabeth Landon
There is no existence so content as that whose present is engrossed by employment, and whose future is filled by some strong hope, the truth of which is never proved. Toil and illusion are the only secrets to make life tolerable.
Letitia Elizabeth Landon
Are we not like the actor of old times, who wore his mask so long his face took its likeness?
