Charles Dickens
Image
Time and tide will wait for no man, saith the adage. But all men have to wait for time and tide.
Charles Dickens
Image
Missionaries are perfect nuisances and leave every place worse than they found it.
Charles Dickens
Image
It was the beginning of a day in June the deep blue sky unsullied by a cloud, and teeming with brilliant light. The streets were, as yet, nearly free from passengers, the houses and shops were closed, and the healthy air of morning fell like breath from angels, on the sleeping town.
Charles Dickens

Good never come of such evil, a happier end was not in nature to so unhappy a beginning.

Charles Dickens
Image
Everybody said so. Far be it from me to assert that what everybody says must be true. Everybody is, often, as likely to be wrong as right.
Charles Dickens

A word in earnest is as good as a speech.
Charles Dickens

The broken heart. You think you will die, but you just keep living, day after day after terrible day.
Charles Dickens
Image
The cold hoarfrost glistened on the tombstones, and sparkled like rows of gems, among the stone carvings of the old church. The snow lay hard and crisp upon the ground and spread over the thickly-strewn mounds of earth, so white and smooth a cover, that it seemed as if corpses lay there, hidden only by their winding sheets.
