Walter Savage Landor
Children are what the mothers are.
Walter Savage Landor
God made the rose out of what was left of woman at the creation. The great difference is, we feel the rose's thorns when we gather it and the other's when we have had it for some time.

Walter Savage Landor
Great men always pay deference to greater.
Walter Savage Landor
Vast objects of remote altitude must be looked at a long while before they are ascertained. Ages are the telescope tubes that must be lengthened out for Shakespeare and generations of men serve but a single witness to his claims.
Walter Savage Landor
If there were no falsehood in the world, there would be no doubt, if there were no doubt, there would be no inquiry if no inquiry, no wisdom, no knowledge, no genius and Fancy herself would lie muffled up in her robe, inactive, pale, and bloated.
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
