Charles Lamb

"Let us live for the beauty of our own reality."

"The most common error made in matters of appearance is the belief that one should disdain the superficial and let the true beauty of one's soul shine through. If there are places on your body where this is a possibility, you are not attractive - you are leaking."

"The human species, according to the best theory I can form of it, is composed of two distinct races, the men who borrow and the men who lend."

"New Year's Day is every man's birthday."

"Tis the privilege of friendship to talk nonsense, and have her nonsense respected."

"Lawyers, I suppose, were children once."
