You speak so feelingly and so manfully, Charles Darnay
Charles Dickens

Mr. and Mrs. Boffin sat staring at mid-air, and Mrs. Wilfer sat silently giving them to understand that every breath she drew required to be drawn with a self-denial rarely paralleled in history.

True love believes everything, and bears everything, and trusts everything.
Charles Dickens
Image
It was a dagger in the haughty father's heart, an arrow in his brain, to see how the flesh and blood he could not disown clung to this obscure stranger, and he sitting by. Not that he cared to whom his daughter turned, or from whom turned away. The swift sharp agony struck through him, as he thought of what his son might do.
Charles Dickens
Image
Home is like the ship at sea, Sailing on eternally Oft the anchor forth we cast, But can never make it fast.

Image
Walk and be Happy, Walk and be Healthy.
Charles Dickens
Image
I will live in the past, the present, and the future. The spirits of all three shall strive within me.

There is no such passion in human nature, as the passion for gravy among commercial gentlemen.
Charles Dickens
