More quotes by Letitia Elizabeth Landon
We are rarely wrong when we act from impulse.
Letitia Elizabeth Landon
From religion ... they will learn the only true lesson of equality - the conviction that our destinies are not in our own hands they will see that no situation in life is without its share of suffering - and this perpetual reference to a higher power ought equally to teach the rich humility, and the poor devotion.
Letitia Elizabeth Landon
The dream on the pillow, That flits with the day, The leaf of the willow A breath wears away The dust on the blossom, The spray on the sea Ay,--ask thine own bosom-- Are emblems of thee.
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
Habit is a second nature, and what was at first pleasure, is next necessity.
Letitia Elizabeth Landon
Memory has many conveniences, and, among others, that of foreseeing things as they have afterwards happened.
Letitia Elizabeth Landon
Consistency is a human word, but it certainly expresses nothing human.
Letitia Elizabeth Landon
Enthusiasm is the divine particle in our composition: with it we are great, generous, and true without it, we are little, false, and mean.
Letitia Elizabeth Landon
The stars are so far, far away!
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
My tears are buried in my heart, like cave-locked fountains sleeping.
Letitia Elizabeth Landon
Knowledge is much like dust - it sticks to one, one does not know how.
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
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
Toil is the portion of day, as sleep is that of night but if there be one hour of the twenty-four which has the life of day without its labor, and the rest of night without its slumber, it is the lovely and languid hour of twilight.
Letitia Elizabeth Landon
Surprises are like misfortunes or herrings - they rarely come single.
Letitia Elizabeth Landon
Hope is love's happiness, but not its life.
Letitia Elizabeth Landon
It is amazing how much a thought expands and refines by being put into speech: I should think it could hardly know itself.
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
Praise is sometimes a good thing for the diffident and the despondent. It teaches them properly to rely on the kindness of others.
