I strove with none, for none ...

I strove with none, for none was worth my strife. Nature I loved and, next to Nature, Art: I warm'd both hands before the fire of life; It sinks, and I am ready to depart.

The worse of ingratitude lies...

The worse of ingratitude lies not in the ossified heart of him who commits it, but we find it in the effect it produces on him against whom it was committed.

Modesty and diffidence make a man unfit for public affairs; they also make him unfit for brothels.

Patience, piety, and salutary...

Patience, piety, and salutary knowledge spring up and ripen under the harrow of affliction; before there is wine or oil, the grape must be trodden and the oil pressed.

Walter Savage Landor 234 quotes

Cruelty is no more the cure o...

Walter Savage Landor 234 quotes

Those who are quite satisfied...

Democracy is always the work ...

Democracy is always the work of kings. Ashes, which in themselves are sterile, fertilize the land they are cast upon.

Walter Savage Landor 234 quotes

Happiness, like air and water...

Happiness, like air and water, the other two great requisites of life, is composite. One kind of it suits one man, another kind another. The elevated mind takes in and breathes out again that which would be uncongenial to the baser; and the baser draws life and enjoyment from that which would be putridity to the loftier.

Walter Savage Landor 234 quotes

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 234 quotes

A critic is never too severe ...

There is a vast deal of vital air in loving words.

A good cook is the peculiar gift of the gods. He must be a perfect creature from the brain to the palate, from the palate to the finger's end.

Everything that looks to the future elevates human nature.
