He is not deserving of the name of Englishman who speaketh against ale, that is, good ale. - George Borrow

Smoking has a sedative effect upon the nerves, and enables a man to bear the sorrows of this life (of which every one has his share) not only decently, but dignifiedly.

There's night and day, brother, both sweet things; sun, moon, and stars, brother, all sweet things; there's likewise a wind on the heath. Life is very sweet, brother; who would wish to die?

There's the wind on the heath, brother; if I could only feel that, I would gladly live for ever.
