More quotes by Charles Dickens
Did it ever strike you on such a morning as this that drowning would be happiness and peace?
Charles Dickens
And yet I love him. I love him so much and so dearly, that when I sometimes think my life may be but a weary one, I am proud of it and glad of it. I am proud and glad to suffer something for him, even though it is of no service to him, and he will never know of it or care for it.
Charles Dickens
When we have done our very, very best, papa, and that is not enough, then I think the right time must have come for asking help of others.
Charles Dickens
Her heart-is given him, with all its love and truth. She would joyfully die with him, or, better than that, die for him. She knows he has failings, but she thinks they have grown up through his being like one cast away, for the want of something to trust in, and care for, and think well of.
Charles Dickens
I looked at the stars, and considered how awful it would be for a man to turn his face up to them as he froze to death, and see no help or pity in all the glittering multitude.
Charles Dickens
Detestation of the high is the involuntary homage of the low.
Charles Dickens

Charles Dickens
There is prodigious strength in sorrow and despair.
Charles Dickens
I have been bent and broken, but - I hope - into a better shape.
Charles Dickens
The aphorism Whatever is, is right, would be as final as it is lazy, did it not include the troublesome consequence that nothing that ever was, was wrong.
Charles Dickens
And numerous indeed are the hearts to which Christmas brings a brief season of happiness and enjoyment.
Charles Dickens
Some happy talent, and some fortunate opportunity, may form the two sides of the ladder on which some men mount, but the rounds of that ladder must be made of stuff to stand wear and tear and there is no substitute for thorough-going, ardent, and sincere earnestness.
Charles Dickens
Regrets are the natural property of grey hairs.
Charles Dickens
Accidents will occur in the best regulated families.
Charles Dickens
the sight of me is good for sore eyes
Charles Dickens
Dombey sat in the corner of the darkened room in the great arm-chair by the bedside, and Son lay tucked up warm in a little basket bedstead, carefully disposed on a low settee immediately in front of the fire and close to it, as if his constitution were analogous to that of a muffin, and it was essential to toast him brown while he was very new.
Charles Dickens
It's nothing, returned Mrs Chick. It's merely change of weather. We must expect change.
Charles Dickens
It is known, to the force of a single pound weight, what the engine will do but, not all the calculators of the National Debt can tell me the capacity for good or evil, for love or hatred, for patriotism or discontent, for the decomposition of virtue into vice, or the reverse.
Charles Dickens
Are there no prisons?
Charles Dickens
Have I yet to learn that the hardest and best-borne trials are those which are never chronicled in any earthly record, and are suffered every day!
Charles Dickens
