Charles Dickens
Every failure teaches a man something, if he will learn and you are too sensible a man not to learn from this failure.
Charles Dickens
The word of a gentleman is as good as his bond — sometimes better as in the present case, where his bond might prove but a doubtful sort of security.
Charles Dickens
The aphorism Whatever is, is right, would be as final as it is lazy, did it not include the troublesome consequence that nothing that ever was, was wrong.
Charles Dickens
There was something very comfortable in having plenty of stationery.
Charles Dickens
I am well aware that I am the 'umblest person going. . . . My mother is likewise a very 'umble person. We live in a 'umble abode.
Charles Dickens
Ask no questions, and you'll be told no lies.
Charles Dickens
We all have some experience of a feeling, that comes over us occasionally, of what we are saying and doing having been said and done before, in a remote time - of our having been surrounded, dim ages ago, by the same faces, objects, and circumstances.
Charles Dickens
