More quotes by Walter Savage Landor
All schools of philosophy, and almost all authors, are rather to be frequented for exercise than for weight.
Walter Savage Landor
Little men build up great ones, but the snow colossus soon melts the good stand under the eye of God, and therefore stand.
Walter Savage Landor
The Siren waits thee, singing song for song.
Walter Savage Landor
The most pernicious of absurdities is that weak, blind, stupid faith is better than the constant practice of every human virtue.
Walter Savage Landor
Wise or unwise, who doubts for a moment that contentment is the cause of happiness? Yet the inverse is true: we are contented because we are happy, and not happy because we are contented. Well-regulated minds may be satisfied with a small portion of happiness none can be happy with a small portion of content.
Walter Savage Landor
I strove with none for none was worth my strife.
Walter Savage Landor

Walter Savage Landor
The happy never say, and never hear said, farewell.
Walter Savage Landor
And Modesty, who, when she goes, Is gone for ever.
Walter Savage Landor
Falsehood is for a season.
Walter Savage Landor

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
I never did a single wise thing in the whole course of my existence, although I have written many which have been thought so.
Walter Savage Landor
Avoid, which many grave men have not done, words taken from sacred subjects and from elevated poetry: these we have seen vilely prostituted. Avoid too the society of the barbarians who misemploy them.
Walter Savage Landor
Nature I loved, and next to Nature, Art.
Walter Savage Landor
We must distinguish between felicity and prosperity for prosperity leads often to ambition, and ambition to disappointment the course is then over, the wheel turns round but once, while the reaction of goodness and happiness is perpetual.
