Lambert Castle

Famous quotes containing the words lambert and/or castle:

    Our duty now is to keep alive—to exist. What becomes of a nation if its citizens all die?
    Dudley Nichols, U.S. screenwriter. Jean Renoir. George Lambert (George Sanders)

    If, in looking at the lives of princes, courtiers, men of rank and fashion, we must perforce depict them as idle, profligate, and criminal, we must make allowances for the rich men’s failings, and recollect that we, too, were very likely indolent and voluptuous, had we no motive for work, a mortal’s natural taste for pleasure, and the daily temptation of a large income. What could a great peer, with a great castle and park, and a great fortune, do but be splendid and idle?
    William Makepeace Thackeray (1811–1863)
