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
charity is a calm, severe duty it must be intellectual, to be advantageous. It is a strange mistake that it should ever be considered a merit its fulfillment is only what we owe to each other, and is a debt never paid to its full extent.
Letitia Elizabeth Landon
the blessings of matrimony, like those of poverty, belong rather to philosophy than reality.
Letitia Elizabeth Landon
