Harmonious words render ordin...

Harmonious words render ordinary ideas acceptable; less ordinary, pleasant; novel and ingenious ones, delightful. As pictures and statues, and living beauty, too, show better by music-light, so is poetry irradiated, vivified, glorified', and raised into immortal life by harmony.

Consciousness of error is, to a certain extent, a consciousness of understanding; and correction of error is the plainest proof of energy and mastery.

Fancy is imagination in her youth and adolescence. Fancy is always excursive; imagination, not seldom, is sedate.

Every witticism is an inexact thought; that which is perfectly true is imperfectly witty.

This is the pleasantest part ...

This is the pleasantest part of life. Oblivion throws her light coverlet over our infancy; and, soon after we are out of the cradle we forget how soundly we had been slumbering, and how delightful were our dreams. Toil and pleasure contend for us almost the instant we rise from it: and weariness follows whichever has carried us away. We stop awhile, look around us, wonder to find we have completed the circle of existence, fold our arms, and fall asleep again.

Walter Savage Landor 234 quotes

It appears to be among the laws of nature, that the mighty of intellect should be pursued and carped by the little, as the solitary flight of one great bird is followed by the twittering petulance of many smaller.

Walter Savage Landor 234 quotes

Cruelty, if we consider it as...

Cruelty, if we consider it as a crime, is the greatest of all; if we consider it as a madness, we are equally justifiable in applying to it the readiest and the surest means of oppression.

If in argument we can make a man angry with us, we have drawn him from his vantage ground and overcome him.

Walter Savage Landor 234 quotes

What is companionship where n...

What is companionship where nothing that improves the intellect is communicated, and where the larger heart contracts itself to the model and dimension of the smaller?

Walter Savage Landor 234 quotes

Life and death appear more ce...

Life and death appear more certainly ours than whatsoever else; and yet hardly can that be called ours, which comes without our knowledge, and goes without it.

Not dancing well, I never danced at all--and how grievously has my heart ached when others where in the full enjoyment of that conversation which I had no right even to partake.

Walter Savage Landor 234 quotes

Everything that looks to the ...

Everything that looks to the future elevates human nature; for never is life so low or so little as when occupied with the present.

No truer word, save God's, was ever spoken, Than that the largest heart is soonest broken.

It is as wise to moderate our belief as our desires.

When the mind loses its feeling for elegance, it grows corrupt and groveling, and seeks in the crowd what ought to be found at home.

Walter Savage Landor 234 quotes

Something of the severe hath ...

Something of the severe hath always been appertaining to order and to grace; and the beauty that is not too liberal is sought the most ardently, and loved the longest.
