Letitia Elizabeth Landon
anybody's applause is better than nobody's.
Letitia Elizabeth Landon
A blossom full of promise is life's joy, That never comes to fruit. Hope, for a time, Suns the young floweret in its gladsome light, And it looks flourishing--a little while-- 'T is pass'd, we know not whither, but 't is gone.
Letitia Elizabeth Landon
Hope is love's happiness, but not its life.

Letitia Elizabeth Landon
The heart's hushed secret in the soft dark eye.
Letitia Elizabeth Landon
Ignorance, far more than idleness, is the mother of all the vices and how recent has been the admission, that knowledge should be the portion of all? The destinies of the future lie in judicious education an education that must be universal, to be beneficial.
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
When does the mind put forth its powers? when are the stores of memory unlocked? when does wit 'flash from fluent lips?' -- when but after a good dinner? Who will deny its influence on the affections? Half our friends are born of turbots and truffles.
Letitia Elizabeth Landon
I have no parting sigh to give, so take my parting smile.
Letitia Elizabeth Landon
A preface is a species of literary luxury, where an author, like a lover, is privileged to be egotistical.
