I love to lose myself in other men's minds. - Charles Lamb

I am determined my children shall be brought up in their father's religion, if they can find out what it is.

There is more reason to say grace before beginning a book than there is to say it before beginning to dine.

I own that I am disposed to say grace upon twenty other occasions in the course of the day besides my dinner. I want a form for setting out upon a pleasant walk, for a moonlight ramble, for a friendly meeting, or a solved problem. Why have none for books, those spiritual repasts - a grace before Milton - a grace before Shakespeare - a devotional exercise proper to be said before reading the Fairy Queen?
