Additional quotes by Charles Lamb

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

Thou in such a cloud dost bind us,
That our worst foes cannot find us,
And ill fortune, that would thwart us,
Shoots at rovers, shooting at us;
While each man, through thy height'ning steam,
Does like a smoking Etna seem.

Your borrowers of books—those mutilators of collections, spoilers of the symmetry of shelves, and creators of odd volumes.
