Letitia Elizabeth Landon
The very effort to forget teaches us to remember.
Letitia Elizabeth Landon
Nothing is so fortunate for mankind as its diversity of opinion.

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
It is strange what society will endure from its idols.
Letitia Elizabeth Landon
There are words to paint the misery of love, but none to paint its happiness.
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
there is nothing so easy as to be wise for others a species of prodigality, by-the-by - for such wisdom is wholly wasted.
Letitia Elizabeth Landon
To this hour, the great science and duty of politics is lowered by the petty leaven of small and personal advantage.
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
