If there were no bad people, there would be no good lawyers.
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.
Charles Dickens
Image
All partings foreshadow the great final one.
Charles Dickens
Image
Subdue your appetites, my dears, and you've conquered human nature .
Charles Dickens

Image
What is your best, your very best, ale a glass? Two pence halfpenny, says the landlord, is the price of the Genuine Stunning Ale. Then, says I, producing the money, just draw me a glass of the Genuine Stunning, if you please, with a good head on it.
Charles Dickens
Image
There are very few moments in a man's existence when he experiences so much ludicrous distress, or meets with so little charitable commiseration, as when he is in pursuit of his own hat.
Charles Dickens
Image
I will live in the past, the present, and the future. The spirits of all three shall strive within me.
