Love, thou hast hopes like summers, short and bright,
More quotes by Letitia Elizabeth Landon
His heart is like a maggot-eaten nut:
There's nothing in it ; but 'tis closely shut.
Knowledge, when only the possession of a few, has almost always been turned to iniquitous purposes.

Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind,
And therefore is wing'd Cupid painted blind.
To fear love is to fear life, and those who fear life are already three parts dead.
Not for the body, but for the heart; companion and company are needed.
Love seldom haunts the breast where learning lies,
And Venus sets ere Mercury can rise.
