More quotes by Letitia Elizabeth Landon
... true love is like religion, it hath its silence and its sanctity.
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
I never cast a flower away, A gift of one who car'd for me A flower--a faded flower, But it was done reluctantly.
Letitia Elizabeth Landon
Alas! we give our own coloring to the actions of others.
Letitia Elizabeth Landon
Hard are life's early steps and but that youth is buoyant, confident, and strong in hope, men would behold its threshold, and despair.
Letitia Elizabeth Landon
One of the greatest of all mental pleasures is to have our thoughts often divined: ever entered into with sympathy.

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
Jealousy ought to be tragic, to save it from being ridiculous.
Letitia Elizabeth Landon
Farewell's a bitter word to say.
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
Eyes that droop like summer flowers.
Letitia Elizabeth Landon
Occupation is one great source of enjoyment. No man, properly occupied, was ever miserable.
Letitia Elizabeth Landon
Childhood, whose very happiness is love.
Letitia Elizabeth Landon
there is nothing so easy as to be wise for others a species of prodigality, by-the-by - for such wisdom is wholly wasted.
