More quotes by Charles Dickens
When you drink of the water, don't forget the spring from which it flows.
Charles Dickens
Many merry Christmases, many happy New Years. Unbroken friendships, great accumulations of cheerful recollections and affections on earth, and heaven for us all.
Charles Dickens
A word in earnest is as good as a speech.
Charles Dickens
Drink with me, my dear, said Mr. Weller. Put your lips to this here tumbler, and then I can kiss you by deputy.
Charles Dickens
There was something very comfortable in having plenty of stationery.
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
Are there no prisons?
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
She had gained a reputation for beauty, and (which is often another thing) was beautiful.
Charles Dickens
Friendless I can never be, for all mankind are my kindred, and I am on ill terms with no one member of my great family.
Charles Dickens

Charles Dickens
In seasons of pestilence, some of us will have a secret attraction to the disease--a terrible passing inclination to die of it.
Charles Dickens
There is no deception now, Mr. Weller. Tears, said Job, with a look of momentary slyness, tears are not the only proofs of distress, nor the best ones.
Charles Dickens
Crush humanity out of shape once more, under similar hammers, and it will twist itself into the same tortured forms. Sow the same seeds of rapacious licence and oppression over again, and it will surely yield the same fruit according to its kind.
Charles Dickens
Ask no questions, and you'll be told no lies.
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
My good fellow, retorted Mr. Boffin, you have my word and how you can have that, without my honour too, I don't know. I've sorted a lot of dust in my time, but I never knew the two things go into separate heaps.
Charles Dickens
The American woman is a monstrosity.
Charles Dickens
New thoughts and hopes were whirling through my mind, and all the colours of my life were changing.
Charles Dickens
You speak so feelingly and so manfully, Charles Darnay
