There is nothing so strong or safe in an emergency of life as the simple truth.
Charles Dickens
The Northern onslaught upon slavery was no more than a piece of specious humbug designed to conceal its desire for economic control of the Southern states.
Charles Dickens
It may be only small injustice that the child can be exposed to but the child is small, and its world is small, and its rocking-horse stands as many hands high, according to scale, as a big-boned Irish hunter.
Charles Dickens
There was not one straight floor from the foundation to the roof the ceilings were so fantastically clouded by smoke and dust, that old women might have told fortunes in them better than in grouts of tea.
Charles Dickens
Heaped on the floor were turkeys, geese, game, poultry, brawn, great joints of meat, sucking pigs, long wreaths of sausages, mince-pies, plum-puddings, bartrels of oysters, re-hot chestnuts, cherry-cheeked apples, juicy oranges, luscious pears, immense twelfth-cakes, and seething bowls of punch that made the chamber dim with their delicious steam.
Charles Dickens
I will live in the past, the present, and the future. The spirits of all three shall strive within me.

Charles Dickens
Subdue your appetites, my dears, and you've conquered human nature .
Charles Dickens

Charles Dickens
The coffee was boiling over a charcoal fire, and large slices of bread and butter were piled one upon the other like deals in a lumber yard.
Charles Dickens
Let us be moral. Let us contemplate existence.
Charles Dickens
I should never have made my success in life if I had not bestowed upon the least thing I have ever undertaken the same attention and care that I have bestowed upon the greatest.
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
A new heart for a New Year, always!
Charles Dickens
Heaven suits the back to the burden.
Charles Dickens
There is a Sunday conscience as well as a Sunday coat and those who make religion a secondary concern put the coat and conscience carefully by to put on only once a week.
Charles Dickens
Stephen Blackpool fall into the loneliest of lives, the life of solitude among a familiar crowd. The stranger in the land who looks into ten thousand faces for some answering look and never finds it, is in cheering society as compared with him who passes ten averted faces daily, that were once the countenances of friends
Charles Dickens
I went away, dear Agnes, loving you. I stayed away, loving you. I returned home, loving you!
Charles Dickens
