Charles Lamb
Image
As half in shade and half in sun This world along its path advances, May that side the sun 's upon Be all that e'er shall meet thy glances!
Charles Lamb
Image
How convalescence shrinks a man back to his pristine stature! where is now the space, which he occupied so lately, in his own, in the family's eye?
Charles Lamb
Image
We all have some taste or other, of too ancient a date to admit of our remembering it was an acquired one.
Charles Lamb
Image
O money, money, how blindly thou hast been worshipped, and how stupidly abused! Thou are health and liberty and strength, and he that has thee may rattle his pockets at the foul fiend!
Charles Lamb
Image
For thy sake, tobacco, I would do anything but die.
Charles Lamb
Image
I even think that, sentimentally, I am disposed to harmony. But organically I am incapable of a tune.
Charles Lamb
Image
You may derive thoughts from others your way of thinking, the mould in which your thoughts are cast, must be your own.
Charles Lamb
Image
I counsel thee, shut not thy heart, nor thy library.
