More quotes by Charles Dickens
And I am bored to death with it. Bored to death with this place, bored to death with my life, bored to death with myself.
Charles Dickens
things cannot be expected to turn up of themselves. We must in a measure assist to turn them up
Charles Dickens
Did it ever strike you on such a morning as this that drowning would be happiness and peace?
Charles Dickens
And still I stood looking at the house, thinking how happy I should be if I lived there with her, and knowing that I never was happy with her, but always miserable.
Charles Dickens
Prowling about the rooms, sitting down, getting up, stirring the fire, looking out the window, teasing my hair, sitting down to write, writing nothing, writing something and tearing it up...
Charles Dickens
Oh Agnes, Oh my soul, so may thy face be by me when I close my life indeed so may I, when realities are melting from me, like the shadows which I now dismiss, still find thee near me, pointing upward!
Charles Dickens

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
The heavy rain beat down the tender branches of vine and jessamine, and trampled on them in its fury and when the lightning gleamed, it showed the tearful leaves shivering and cowering together at the window, and tapping at it urgently, as if beseeching to be sheltered from the dismal night.
Charles Dickens

Charles Dickens
Darkness is cheap, and Scrooge liked it.
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
He has the power to render us happy or unhappy to make our service light or burdensome a pleasure or a toil. Say that his power lies in words and looks in things so slight and insignificant that it is impossible to add and count 'em up: what then? The happiness he gives, is quite as great as if it cost a fortune.
Charles Dickens
My dear young lady, crime, like death, is not confined to the old and withered alone. The youngest and fairest are too often its chosen victims.
Charles Dickens
The world belongs to those who set out to conquer it armed with self confidence and good humour.
Charles Dickens
We are so very 'umble.
Charles Dickens
Yes. He is quite a good fellow - nobody's enemy but his own.
Charles Dickens
Satisfy yourself beyond all doubt that you are qualified for the course to which you now aspire.....and try to achieve something in your own land before you venture on a strange one.
Charles Dickens
Money, says the proverb, makes money. When you have got a little, it is often easy to get more.
Charles Dickens
I recollected one story there was in the village, how that on a certain night in the year (it might be that very night for anything I knew), all the dead people came out of the ground and sat at the heads of their own graves till morning.
