Walter Savage Landor
Solitude is the audience-chamber of God.
Walter Savage Landor
Next in criminality to him who violates the laws of his country, is he who violates the language.
Walter Savage Landor
Every sect is a moral check on its neighbour. Competition is as wholesome in religion as in commerce.
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
I have since written what no tide Shall ever wash away, what men Unborn shall read o'er ocean wide And find Ianthe's name agen.
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.
