More quotes by Charles Dickens
Nature gives to every time and season some beauties of its own.
Charles Dickens
Fan the sinking flame of hilarity with the wing of friendship and pass the rosy wine.
Charles Dickens
I know quite enough of myself, said Bella, with a charming air of being inclined to give herself up as a bad job, and I don't improve upon acquaintance...
Charles Dickens
There are chords in the human heart- strange, varying strings- which are only struck by accident which will remain mute and senseless to appeals the most passionate and earnest, and respond at last to the slightest casual touch.
Charles Dickens
He was sailing over a boundless expanse of sea, with a blood-red sky above, and the angry waters, lashed into fury beneath, boiling and eddying up, on every side. There was another vessel before them, toiling and labouring in the howling storm: her canvas fluttering in ribbons from the mast.

Charles Dickens
It is a most miserable thing to feel ashamed of home.
Charles Dickens
He was the meekest of his sex, the mildest of little men. He sidled in and out of a room, to take up the less space. He walked as softly as the Ghost in Hamlet, and more slowly. He carried his head on one side, partly in modest depreciation of himself, partly in modest propitiation of everybody else.
Charles Dickens
A day wasted on others is not wasted on one's self.
Charles Dickens
... Waiter! raw beef-steak for the gentleman's eye,-nothing like raw beef-steak for a bruise, sir cold lamp-post very good, but lamp-post inconvenient-damned odd standing in the open street half-an-hour, with your eye against a lamp.
Charles Dickens
Have a heart that never hardens
Charles Dickens
Novelties please less than they impress.
Charles Dickens
I have always thought of Christmas time... as a good time a kind, forgiving, charitable, pleasant time.
Charles Dickens
What lawsuits grow out of the graves of rich men, every day sowing perjury, hatred, and lies among near kindred, where there should be nothing but love!
Charles Dickens
