More quotes by Walter Savage Landor
Wrong is but falsehood put in practice.
Walter Savage Landor
O what a thing is age! Death without death's quiet.
Walter Savage Landor
Wisdom consisteth not in knowing many things, nor even in knowing them thoroughly but in choosing and in following what conduces the most certainly to our lasting happiness and true glory.
Walter Savage Landor
Ambition is but avarice on stilts, and masked. God sometimes sends a famine, sometimes a pestilence, and sometimes a hero, for the chastisement of mankind none of them surely for our admiration.
Walter Savage Landor
Piety--warm, soft, and passive as the ether round the throne of Grace--is made callous and inactive by kneeling too much.
Walter Savage Landor
Virtue is presupposed in friendship.
Walter Savage Landor

Walter Savage Landor
No ashes are lighter than those of incense, and few things burn out sooner.
Walter Savage Landor

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
In argument, truth always prevails finally in politics, falsehood always.
Walter Savage Landor
No good writer was ever long neglected no great man overlooked by men equally great. Impatience is a proof of inferior strength, and a destroyer of what little there may be.
Walter Savage Landor
My thoughts are my company I can bring them together, select them, detain them, dismiss them.
Walter Savage Landor
Ah what avails the sceptred race, Ah what the form divine! What every virtue, every grace! Rose Aylmer, all were thine. Rose Aylmer, whom these wakeful eyes May weep, but never see, A night of memories and of sighs I consecrate to thee.
Walter Savage Landor
The highest price we can pay for anything is to ask it.
Walter Savage Landor
Falsehood is for a season.
Walter Savage Landor
No friendship is so cordial or so delicious as that of girl for girl no hatred so intense and immovable as that of woman for woman.
