Charles Dickens

Charles Dickens
You might, from your appearance, be the wife of Lucifer,” said Miss Pross, in her breathing. “Nevertheless, you shall not get the better of me. I am an Englishwoman.
Charles Dickens
Although I am an old man, night is generally my time for walking.
Charles Dickens
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
Miss Mills replied, on general principles, that the Cottage of content was better than the Palace of cold splendour, and that where love was, all was.
Charles Dickens
Industry is the soul of business and the keystone of prosperity.
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
The aim of talk should be like the aim of a flying arrow -- to hit the mark but to this end there must be a mark to hit, that is, there must be a listener.
Charles Dickens
