Walter Savage Landor
Nations, like individuals, interest us in their growth.
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
There is no easy path leading out of life, and few are the easy ones that lie within it.
Walter Savage Landor
The sweetest souls, like the sweetest flowers, soon canker in cities, and no purity is rarer there than the purity of delight.
Walter Savage Landor
Fame often rests at first upon something accidental, and often, too, is swept away, or for a time removed but neither genius nor glory, is conferred at once, nor do they glimmer and fall, like drops in a grotto, at a shout.
Walter Savage Landor
In the morn of life we are alert, we are heated in its noon, and only in its decline do we repose.
Walter Savage Landor
Great men lose somewhat of their greatness by being near us ordinary men gain much.
Walter Savage Landor
Two evils, of almost equal weight, may befall the man of erudition never to be listened to, and to be listened to always.
Walter Savage Landor
Experience is our only teacher both in war and peace.
Walter Savage Landor
The highest price we can pay for anything is to ask it.
