More quotes by Charles Lamb
No woman dresses below herself from mere caprice.
Charles Lamb
The English writer, Charles Lamb, said one day: I hate that man. But you don't know him. Of course, I don't, said Lamb. Do you think I could possibly hate a man I know?
Charles Lamb
This very night I am going to leave off tobacco! Surely there must be some other world in which this unconquerable purpose shall be realised.
Charles Lamb
We gain nothing by being with such as ourselves. We encourage one another in mediocrity. I am always longing to be with men more excellent than myself.
Charles Lamb
The going away of friends does not make the remainder more precious. It takes so much from them as there was a common link. A. B. and C. make a party. A. dies. B. not only loses A. but all A.'s part in C. C. loses A.'s part in B., and so the alphabet sickens by subtraction of interchangeables.
Charles Lamb
Think what you would have been now, if instead of being fed with tales and old wives' fables in childhood, you had been crammed with geography and natural history!
Charles Lamb
How I like to be liked, and what I do to be liked!
Charles Lamb
Asparagus inspires gentle thoughts.
Charles Lamb
A child's nature is too serious a thing to admit of its being regarded as a mere appendage to another being.
Charles Lamb
We do not go to the theatre like our ancestors, to escape from the pressure of reality, so much as to confirm our experience of it.
Charles Lamb
Positively, the best thing a man can have to do, is nothing, and next to that perhaps — good works.
Charles Lamb
My only books Were woman's looks,- And folly 's all they 've taught me.
Charles Lamb
No one ever regarded the First of January with indifference. It is that from which all date their time, and count upon what is left. It is the nativity of our common Adam.
Charles Lamb
Not if I know myself at all.
Charles Lamb
Whose wit in the combat, as gentle as bright, Ne'er carried a heart-stain away on its blade.
Charles Lamb
A poor relation—is the most irrelevant thing in nature.
Charles Lamb
And when once the young heart of a maiden is stolen, The maiden herself will steal after it soon.
Charles Lamb
I have done all that I came into this world to do. I have worked task work, and have the rest of the day to myself.
Charles Lamb
Newspapers always excite curiosity. No one ever puts one down without the feeling of disappointment.
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.
