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

You look wise, pray correct that error.
Charles Lamb
Image
A man may do very well with a very little knowledge, and scarce be found out in mixed company everybody is so much more ready to produce his own, than to call for a display of your acquisitions.
Charles Lamb

Half as sober as a judge.
