More quotes by Walter Savage Landor
Do not expect to be acknowledged for what you are, much less for what you would be since no one can well measure a great man but upon the bier.
Walter Savage Landor
Wherever there is excessive wealth, there is also in the train of it excessive poverty.
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
Nature I loved, and next to Nature, Art.
Walter Savage Landor
I have suffered more from my bad dancing than from all the misfortunes and miseries of my life put together.
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
The sublime is contained in a grain of dust.
Walter Savage Landor
No ashes are lighter than those of incense, and few things burn out sooner.
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
When a woman hath ceased to be quite the same to us, it matters little how different she becomes.
Walter Savage Landor
Even the weakest disputant is made so conceited by what he calls religion, as to think himself wiser than the wisest who thinks differently from him.
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
Democracy is always the work of kings. Ashes, which in themselves are sterile, fertilize the land they are cast upon.
Walter Savage Landor
Cats ask plainly for what they want.
Walter Savage Landor
I see the rainbow in the sky, the dew upon the grass I see them, and I ask not why they glimmer or they pass. With folded arms I linger not to call them back 'twere vain: In this, or in some other spot, I know they'll shine again.
Walter Savage Landor
There is no more certain sign of a narrow mind, of stupidity, and of arrogance, than to stand aloof from those who think differently from us.
Walter Savage Landor
We fancy we suffer from ingratitude, while in reality we suffer from self-love.
Walter Savage Landor
Where power is absent we may find the robe of genius, but we miss the throne.
Walter Savage Landor
There is only one word of tenderness we could say, which we have not said oftentimes before and there is no consolation in it. The happy never say, and never hear said, farewell.
Walter Savage Landor
He who first praises a book becomingly is next in merit to the author.
