More quotes by Charles Dickens
The New Testament is the very best book that ever was or ever will be known in the world.
Charles Dickens

Charles Dickens
She dotes on poetry, sir. She adores it I may say that her whole soul and mind are wound up, and entwined with it. She has produced some delightful pieces, herself, sir. You may have met with her 'Ode to an Expiring Frog,' sir.
Charles Dickens
Novelties please less than they impress.
Charles Dickens
If a dread of not being understood be hidden in the breasts of other young people to anything like the extent to which it used to be hidden in mine - which I consider probable, as I have no particular reason to suspect myself of having been a monstrosity - it is the key to many reservations.
Charles Dickens

Charles Dickens

Charles Dickens
The habit of paying compliments kept a man's tongue oiled without any expense.
Charles Dickens
I feel an earnest and humble desire, and shall do till I die, to increase the stock of harmless cheerfulness.
Charles Dickens
There are strings in the human heart that had better not be vibrated.
Charles Dickens
Christmas is a time in which, of all times in the year, the memory of every remediable sorrow, wrong, and trouble in the world around us, should be active with us, not less than our own experiences, for all good.
Charles Dickens
I will die here where I have walked. And I will walk here, though I am in my grave. I will walk here until the pride of this house is humbled.
Charles Dickens
Never close your lips to those whom you have already opened your heart.
Charles Dickens
You have no idea what it is to have anybody wonderful fond of you, unless you have been got down and rolled upon by the lonely feelings that I have mentioned as having once got the better of me.
Charles Dickens
The year end brings no greater pleasure then the opportunity to express to you season's greetings and good wishes. May your holidays and new year be filled with joy.
Charles Dickens
If there were no bad people, there would be no good lawyers.
Charles Dickens
Meow says the cat ,quack says the duck , Bow wow wow says the dog ! Grrrr!
Charles Dickens
There are some upon this earth of yours,' returned the Spirit, 'who lay claim to know us, and who do their deeds of passion, pride, ill-will, hatred, envy, bigotry, and selfishness in our name who are as strange to us and all our kith and kin, as if they had never lived. Remember that, and charge their doings on themselves, not us.
Charles Dickens
The last trumpet ever to be sounded shall blow even algebra to wreck.
