Pipe quote: William Makepeace Thackeray

“The pipe draws wisdom from the lips of the philosopher, and shuts up the mouth of the foolish; it generates a style of conversation, contemplative, thoughtful, benevolent, and unaffected.”

--William Makepeace Thackeray

  1. Was your source "Tobacco in Song and Story" by John Bain? If so, you ought to post more from that book and its other volumes.
