More quotes by Walter Savage Landor
It is easy to look down on others to look down on ourselves is the difficulty.
Walter Savage Landor
I delight in the diffusion of learning yet, I must confess it, I am most gratified and transported at finding a large quantity of it in one place just as I would rather have a solid pat of butter at breakfast, than a splash of grease upon the table-cloth that covers half of it.
Walter Savage Landor
The foundation of domestic happiness is faith in the virtue of woman.
Walter Savage Landor
Virtue is presupposed in friendship.
Walter Savage Landor
Truth is a point, the subtlest and finest harder than adamant never to be broken, worn away, or blunted. Its only bad quality is, that it is sure to hurt those who touch it and likely to draw blood, perhaps the life blood, of those who press earnestly upon it.
Walter Savage Landor
There is a vast deal of vital air in loving words.
Walter Savage Landor
Politeness is not always a sign of wisdom but the want of it always leaves room for a suspicion of folly, if folly and imprudence are the same.
Walter Savage Landor
Religion is the eldest sister of philosophy: on whatever subjects they may differ, it is unbecoming in either to quarrel, and most so about their inheritance.
Walter Savage Landor
Children are what the mothers are.
Walter Savage Landor
Great men lose somewhat of their greatness by being near us ordinary men gain much.
Walter Savage Landor
Immoderate power, like other intemperance, leaves the progeny weaker and weaker, until nature as in compassion covers it with her mantle and it is seen no more.
Walter Savage Landor
Every great writer is a writer of history, let him treat on almost what subject he may.
Walter Savage Landor
States, like men, have their growth, their manhood, their decrepitude, their decay.
Walter Savage Landor
I sometimes think that the most plaintive ditty has brought a fuller joy and of longer duration to its composer that the conquest of Persia to the Macedonian.
Walter Savage Landor
A little praise is good for a shy temper it teaches it to rely on the kindness of others.
Walter Savage Landor
We cannot conquer fate and necessity, yet we can yield to them in such a manner as to be greater than if we could.
Walter Savage Landor
We care not how many see us in choler, when we rave and bluster, and make as much noise and bustle as we can but if the kindest and most generous affection comes across us, we suppress every sign of it, and hide ourselves in nooks and covert.
Walter Savage Landor
Contentment is better than divinations or visions.
Walter Savage Landor
Harmonious words render ordinary ideas acceptable less ordinary, pleasant novel and ingenious ones, delightful. As pictures and statues, and living beauty, too, show better by music-light, so is poetry irradiated, vivified, glorified', and raised into immortal life by harmony.
Walter Savage Landor
How sweet and sacred idleness is!
Walter Savage Landor
