Charles Lamb Smoking Quotations

This very night I am going to leave off tobacco! Surely there must be some other world in which this unconquerable purpose shall be realised.

May be the truth is, that one pipe is wholesome, two pipes toothsome, three pipes noisome, four pipes fulsome, five pipes quarrelsome; and that's the some on't.

For thy sake, tobacco, I would do anything but die.

Dr Parr...asked him, how he had acquired his power of smoking at such a rate? Lamb replied, 'I toiled after it, sir, as some men toil after virtue.'

May my last breath be drawn through a pipe, and exhaled in a jest.

I toiled after it, sir, as some men toil after virtue.
