More quotes by Letitia Elizabeth Landon
Hope is love's happiness, but not its life.
Letitia Elizabeth Landon
... many a heart is caught in the rebound ... Pride may be soothed by the ready devotion of another vanity may be excited the more keenly by recent mortification.

Letitia Elizabeth Landon
Do anything but love or if thou lovest and art a woman, hide thy love from him whom thou dost worship never let him know how dear he is flit like a bird before him lead him from tree to tree, from flower to flower but be not won, or thou wilt, like that bird, when caught and caged, be left to pine neglected and perish in forgetfulness.
Letitia Elizabeth Landon
The stars are so far, far away!
Letitia Elizabeth Landon
The very effort to forget teaches us to remember.
Letitia Elizabeth Landon
Alas! the praise given to the ear Ne'er was nor ne'er can be sincere.
Letitia Elizabeth Landon
Youth is a season that has no repose.
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
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
