More quotes by Charles Dickens
Do the wise thing and the kind thing too, and make the best of us and not the worst.
Charles Dickens
Your tale is of the longest, observed Monks, moving restlessly in his chair. It is a true tale of grief and trial, and sorrow, young man, returned Mr. Brownlow, and such tales usually are if it were one of unmixed joy and happiness, it would be very brief.
Charles Dickens
The wind is rushing after us, and the clouds are flying after us, and the moon is plunging after us, and the whole wild night is in pursuit of us but, so far we are pursued by nothing else.
Charles Dickens
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of light, it was the season of darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair.
Charles Dickens
There is probably a smell of roasted chestnuts and other good comfortable things all the time, for we are telling Winter Stories - Ghost Stories, or more shame for us - round the Christmas fire and we have never stirred, except to draw a little nearer to it.
Charles Dickens
The citizen ... preserved the resolute bearing of one who was not to be frowned down or daunted, and who cared very little for any nobility but that of worth and manhood.
Charles Dickens
But the mere truth won't do. You must have a lawyer.
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
Time has been lost and opportunity thrown away, but I am yet a young man, and may retrieve it.
Charles Dickens
We lawyers are always curious, always inquisitive, always picking up odds and ends for our patchwork minds, since there is no knowing when and where they may fit into some corner.
Charles Dickens
I'll tell you, said she, in the same hurried passionate whisper, what real love it. It is blind devotion, unquestioning self-humiliation, utter submission, trust and belief against yourself and against the whole world, giving up your whole heart and soul to the smiter - as I did!
Charles Dickens
My dear if you could give me a cup of tea to clear my muddle of a head I should better understand your affairs.
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.
Charles Dickens
Some women's faces are, in their brightness, a prophecy and some, in their sadness, a history.
Charles Dickens
Take the pencil and write under my name, 'I forgive her.
Charles Dickens
... Treachery don't come natural to beaming youth but trust and pity, love and constancy,-they do, thank God!
Charles Dickens
The twins no longer derive their sustenance from Nature's founts - in short, said Mr. Micawber, in one of his bursts of confidence, they are weaned...
Charles Dickens
I only ask for information.
Charles Dickens
It is a most miserable thing to feel ashamed of home.
Charles Dickens
Others had been a little wild, which was not to be wondered at, and not very blamable but, he had made a lamentation and uproar which it was dangerous for the people to hear, as there is always contagion in weakness and selfishness.
