William Cobbett Quotes:
Ocupation: Pamphleteer
Life: March 9, 1763 - June 18, 1835
Birthday: March 9
Death: June 18
I view tea drinking as a destroyer of health, an enfeebler of the frame, an en-genderer of effeminancy and laziness, a debaucher of youth and maker of misery for old age. Thus he makes that miserable progress towards that death which he finds ten or fifteen years sooner than he would have found it if he had made his wife brew beer instead of making tea.
