Walter Savage Landor
Of all studies, the most delightful and the most useful is biography. The seeds of great events lie near the surface historians delve too deep for them. No history was ever true. Lives I have read which, if they were not, had the appearance, the interest, and the utility of truth.
Walter Savage Landor
Experience is our only teacher both in war and peace.
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
When the mind loses its feeling for elegance, it grows corrupt and groveling, and seeks in the crowd what ought to be found at home.
