The only William Landsborough I know of is the explorer from Scotland. If that's the same one, he isn't famed for saying much that I know of. You can find works from him in a journal he wrote about his explorations -- called Journal of Landsborough's Expedition from Carpentaria, In search of Burke and Wills, published in 1862.
Nothing too exciting for a quote. This is the first paragraph excerpted from a letter written by Landsborough, found in the Journal he wrote:
BRISBANE PARTY, W. LANDSBOROUGH, ESQUIRE, LEADER, REPORT TO 30TH
SEPTEMBER 1861.
(COPY.)
Sweer's Island, Gulf of Carpentaria, 30th September 1861.
To Captain Norman of Her Majesty's Colonial War Steamer Victoria, and Commander-in-chief of Northern Expedition Parties.
Sir,
I have the honour to inform you that the greatest attention was paid by my parties to the horses for the expedition on board the Firefly, and they ought, during the eight days after leaving Moreton Bay, while we had the finest weather, to have done well, if their allowance of five gallons of water each a day had been sufficient for them; but with that allowance they were so thirsty that they did not thrive well. That quantity of water may do well for horses intended for the Indian market, where they can be fattened afterwards; but for our expedition horses, which were intended for immediate service on landing, to be kept in a close hold, confined by the cargo of the vessel, and fed with dry forage (they did not eat the carrots at first, until they had acquired a taste for them)
eight gallons of water each per day at least should have been allowed to them.
Yeah, not too thrilling, eh? You can find the whole thing by going to good 'ole Wikipedia, and typing in William Landsborough. A link will take you to his journal, which you can read online.
Hope this helps.

a passage from W. Landsborough's 1862 book Exploration of Australia: 'In the south such a creek as the Macadam is termed a billy-bonn, from the circumstance of the water carrier returning from it with his pitcher (billy) empty (bong , literally dead).'
here you will find the book that he wrote

Go to the library and find a book about quotes. Or, you could just search him up.
