More quotes by Charles Dickens
Never sign a valentine with your own name.
Charles Dickens
There can be no disparity in marriage like unsuitability of mind and purpose.
Charles Dickens
Any man may be in good spirits and good temper when he's well dressed. There ain't much credit in that.
Charles Dickens
A man ain't got no right to be a public man, unless he meets the public views.
Charles Dickens
She better liked to see him free and happy, even than to have him near her, because she loved him better than herself.
Charles Dickens
Then I'm sorry to say, I've eat your pie.
Charles Dickens
A day wasted on others is not wasted on one's self.
Charles Dickens
Although a skillful flatterer is a most delightful companion if you have him all to yourself, his taste becomes very doubtful when he takes to complimenting other people.
Charles Dickens
And a beautiful world we live in, when it is possible, and when many other such things are possible, and not only possible, but done-- done, see you!-- under that sky there, every day.
Charles Dickens
It is required of every man, the ghost returned, that the spirit within him should walk abroad among his fellow-men, and travel far and wide and, if that spirit goes not forth in life, it is condemned to do so after death.
Charles Dickens
Home is a name, a word, it is a strong one stronger than magician ever spoke, or spirit ever answered to, in the strongest conjuration.
Charles Dickens
Love is in all things a most wonderful teacher.
Charles Dickens
A merry Christmas to everybody! A happy New Year to all the world!
Charles Dickens
Crush humanity out of shape once more, under similar hammers, and it will twist itself into the same tortured forms. Sow the same seeds of rapacious licence and oppression over again, and it will surely yield the same fruit according to its kind.
Charles Dickens
All of us have wonders hidden in our breasts, only needing circumstances to evoke them.
Charles Dickens
The man who now confronted Gashford, was a squat, thickset personage, with a low, retreating forehead, a coarse shock head of hair, and eyes so small and near together, that his broken nose alone seemed to prevent their meeting and fusing into one of the usual size.
Charles Dickens
Veels vithin veels, a prison in a prison.
Charles Dickens
A person who can't pay gets another person who can't pay to guarantee that he can pay. Like a person with two wooden legs getting another person with two wooden legs to guarantee that he has got two natural legs. It don't make either of them able to do a walking-match.
Charles Dickens
Mrs Joe was a very clean housekeeper, but had an exquisite art of making her clenliness more umcomfortable and unacceptable than dirt itself. Cleanliness is next to godliness, and some people do the same by their religion.
Charles Dickens
Never, never, before Heaven, have I thought of you but as the single, bright, pure, blessed recollection of my boyhood and my youth. Never have I from the first, and never shall I to the last, regard your part in my life, but as something sacred, never to be lightly thought of, never to be esteemed enough, never, until death, to be forgotten.
Charles Dickens
