Quotes by Charles Lamb
When I consider how little of a rarity children are -- that every street and blind alley swarms with them -- that the poorest people commonly have them in most abundance -- that there are few marriages that are not blest with at least one of these bargains -- how often they turn out ill, and defeat the fond hopes of their parents, taking to vicious courses, which end in poverty, disgrace, the gallows, etc. -- I cannot for my life tell what cause for pride there can possibly be in having them.
The red-letter days, now become, to all intents and purposes, dead-letter days.
To be sick is to enjoy monarchical prerogatives.
Lawers, I suppose, were children once.
gone before To that unknown and silent shore,
The beggar wears all colors fearing none.
