More quotes by Charles Dickens
In every life, no matter how full or empty ones purse, there is tragedy. It is the one promise life always fulfills. Thus, happiness is a gift, and the trick is not to expect it, but to delight in it when it comes, and to add to other peoples store of it.
Charles Dickens
. . . in seclusion, she had secluded herself from a thousand natural and healing influences that, her mind, brooding solitary, had grown diseased, as all minds do and must and will that reverse the appointed order of their Maker . . .
Charles Dickens
The jovial party broke up next morning. Breakings-up are capital things in our school-days, but in after life they are painful enough. Death, self-interest, and fortune's changes, are every day breaking up many a happy group, and scattering them far and wide and the boys and girls never come back again.
Charles Dickens
They are Man's and they cling to me, appealing from their fathers. This boy is Ignorance and this girl is Want. Beware them both, and all of their degree, but most of all beware this boy for on his brow I see that written which is Doom, unless the writing be erased.
Charles Dickens
Shall we speak of the inspiration of a poet or a priest, and not of the heart impelled by love and self-devotion to the lowliest work in the lowliest way of life?
Charles Dickens

Charles Dickens
Nature gives to every time and season some beauties of its own.
Charles Dickens
Ah, if only I had brought a cigar with me! This would have established my identity.
Charles Dickens
There are hopes, the bloom of whose beauty would be spoiled by the trammels of description too lovely, too delicate, too sacred for words, they should only be known through the sympathy of hearts.
Charles Dickens
Home is like the ship at sea, Sailing on eternally Oft the anchor forth we cast, But can never make it fast.
Charles Dickens
Fledgeby deserved Mr. Alfred Lammle's eulogium. He was the meanest cur existing, with a single pair of legs. And instinct (a word we all clearly understand) going largely on four legs, and reason always on two, meanness on four legs never attains the perfection of meanness on two.
Charles Dickens
She had curiously thoughtful and attentive eyes eyes that were very pretty and very good.
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
I loved you madly in the distasteful work of the day, in the wakeful misery of the night, girded by sordid realities, or wandering through Paradises and Hells of visions into which I rushed, carrying your image in my arms, I loved you madly.
Charles Dickens
Vengeance and retribution require a long time it is the rule.
Charles Dickens
I know enough of the world now to have almost lost the capacity of being much surprised by anything
Charles Dickens
Try to do unto others as you would have them do to you, and do not be discouraged if they fail sometimes. It is much better that they should fail than you should.
Charles Dickens
