Fame, they tell you, is air; but without air there is no life for any; without fame there is none for the best.

Next in criminality to him who violates the laws of his country, is he who violates the language.

Piety--warm, soft, and passiv...

Piety--warm, soft, and passive as the ether round the throne of Grace--is made callous and inactive by kneeling too much.

Life is but sighs; and, when they cease, 'tis over.

Walter Savage Landor 234 quotes

Heat and animosity, contest a...

Heat and animosity, contest and conflict, may sharpen the wits, although they rarely do; they never strengthen the understanding, clear the perspicacity, guide the judgment, or improve the heart.

There is no easy path leading out of life, and few are the easy ones that lie within it.

Let me take up your metaphor....

Let me take up your metaphor. Friendship is a vase, which, when it is flawed by heat or violence or accident, may as well be broken at once; it can never be trusted after. The more graceful and ornamental it was, the more clearly do we discern the hopelessness of restoring it to its former state. Coarse stones, if they are fractured, may be cemented again; precious stones, never.

Little men build up great one...

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 234 quotes

Ambition is but avarice on st...

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.

Goodness does not more certainly make men happy than happiness makes them good.

I strove with none; for none ...

I strove with none; for none was worth my strife.

An ingenuous mind feels in unmerited praise the bitterest reproof.

Walter Savage Landor 234 quotes

Wise or unwise, who doubts fo...

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 234 quotes

Great men too often have grea...

Great men too often have greater faults than little men can find room for.

Walter Savage Landor 234 quotes

The foundation of domestic happiness is faith in the virtue of woman.

Walter Savage Landor 234 quotes

Wisdom consisteth not in know...

Wisdom consisteth not in knowing many things, nor even in knowing them thoroughly; but in choosing and in following what conduces the most certainly to our lasting happiness and true glory.

Walter Savage Landor 234 quotes

We fancy we suffer from ingratitude, while in reality we suffer from self-love.
