More quotes by Charles Lamb

Charles Lamb

Charles Lamb
The cheerful Sabbath bells, wherever heard, Strike pleasant on the sense, most like the voice Of one, who from the far-off hills proclaims Tidings of good to Zion.
Charles Lamb
And when once the young heart of a maiden is stolen, The maiden herself will steal after it soon.
Charles Lamb
The greatest pleasure I know, is to do a good action by stealth, and to have it found out by accident.
Charles Lamb
A sweet child is the sweetest thing in nature.
Charles Lamb
Summer, as my friend Coleridge waggishly writes, has set in with its usual severity.
Charles Lamb
Were I Diogenes, I would not move out of a kilderkin into a hogshead, though the first had had nothing but small beer in it, and the second reeked claret.
Charles Lamb
The truant Fancy was a wanderer ever.
Charles Lamb
