It is no worse, because I write of it. It would be no better, if I stopped my most unwilling hand. Nothing can undo it nothing can make it otherwise than as it was.

The streets looked small, of course. The streets that we have only seen as children always do I believe when we go back to them
Charles Dickens
Man cannot really improve himself without improving others.
Charles Dickens
Every man, however obscure, however far removed from the general recognition, is one of a group of men impressible for good, and impressible for evil, and it is in the nature of things that he cannot really improve himself without in some degree improving other men.
Charles Dickens
Procrastination is the thief of time, collar him.
Charles Dickens
There lives at least one being who can never change-one being who would be content to devote his whole existence to your happiness-who lives but in your eyes-who breathes but in your smiles-who bears the heavy burden of life itself only for you.
Charles Dickens
Home is a name, a word, it is a strong one.
Charles Dickens
Novelties please less than they impress.
Charles Dickens
All other swindlers upon earth are nothing to the self-swindlers, and with such pretences did I cheat myself. Surely a curious thing. That I should innocently take a bad half-crown of somebody else's manufacture, is reasonable enough but that I should knowingly reckon the spurious coin of my own make, as good money!
Charles Dickens
Christmas is a poor excuse every 25th of December to pick a man's pockets.
Charles Dickens
There is a wisdom of the head, and a wisdom of the heart.
Charles Dickens
-Why don't you cry again, you little wretch? -Because I'll never cry for you again.
Charles Dickens
Suffering has been stronger than all other teaching, and has taught me to understand what your heart used to be. I have been bent and broken, but - I hope - into a better shape.
Charles Dickens
A man can well afford to be as bold as brass, my good fellow, when he gets gold in exchange!
Charles Dickens
Pride is one of the seven deadly sins but it cannot be the pride of a mother in her children, for that is a compound of two cardinal virtues - faith and hope.
Charles Dickens
And O there are days in this life, worth life and worth death.
Charles Dickens
Family not only need to consist of merely those whom we share blood, but also for those whom we'd give blood.
Charles Dickens
He had a certain air of being a handsome man-which he was not and a certain air of being a well-bred man-which he was not. It was mere swagger and challenge but in this particular, as in many others, blustering assertion goes for proof, half over the world.
Charles Dickens
The New Year, like an Infant Heir to the whole world, was waited for, with welcomes, presents, and rejoicings.
Charles Dickens
No one who can read, ever looks at a book, even unopened on a shelf, like one who cannot.
Charles Dickens
You will profit by the failure, and will avoid it another time. I have done a similar thing myself, in construction, often. Every failure teaches a man something, if he will learn.
Charles Dickens
