More quotes by Letitia Elizabeth Landon
Praise is sometimes a good thing for the diffident and the despondent. It teaches them properly to rely on the kindness of others.
Letitia Elizabeth Landon
Habit is a second nature, and what was at first pleasure, is next necessity.
Letitia Elizabeth Landon
In our road through life we may happen to meet with a man casting a stone reverentially to enlarge the cairn of another which stone he has carried in his bosom to sling against that very other's head.
Letitia Elizabeth Landon
How disappointment tracks the steps of hope.
Letitia Elizabeth Landon
Knowledge is much like dust - it sticks to one, one does not know how.
Letitia Elizabeth Landon
It is said that ridicule is the test of truth but it is never applied except when we wish to deceive ourselves - when if we cannot exclude the light, we would fain draw the curtain before it. The sneer springs out of the wish to deny and wretched must that state of mind be, that wishes to take refuge in doubt.
Letitia Elizabeth Landon
Are we not like the actor of old times, who wore his mask so long his face took its likeness?
Letitia Elizabeth Landon
Nothing is so fortunate for mankind as its diversity of opinion.
Letitia Elizabeth Landon
words alike make the destiny of empires and of individuals. Ambition, love, hate, interest, vanity, have words for their engines, and need none more powerful. Language is a fifth element - the one by which all the others are swayed.
Letitia Elizabeth Landon
In sad truth, half our forebodings of our neighbors are but our own wishes, which we are ashamed to utter in any other form.
Letitia Elizabeth Landon
The stars are so far, far away!
Letitia Elizabeth Landon
Eyes that droop like summer flowers.
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
Social life is filled with doubts and vain aspirings solitude, when the imagination is dethroned, is turned to weariness and ennui.
Letitia Elizabeth Landon
to the many, witticisms not only require to be explained, like riddles, but are also like new shoes, which people require to wear many times before they get accustomed to them.
Letitia Elizabeth Landon
I have no parting sigh to give, so take my parting smile.
Letitia Elizabeth Landon
the blessings of matrimony, like those of poverty, belong rather to philosophy than reality.
Letitia Elizabeth Landon
he who seeks pleasure with reference to himself, not others, will ever find that pleasure is only another name for discontent.
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
Hopes and regrets are the sweetest links of existence.
