Charles Dickens
The habit of paying compliments kept a man's tongue oiled without any expense.
Charles Dickens
I am what you designed me to be.I am your blade. You cannot now complain if you also feel the hurt
Charles Dickens
Hours are golden links--God's tokens reaching heaven.
Charles Dickens
Never, said my aunt, be mean in anything never be false never be cruel. Avoid those three vices, Trot, and I can always be hopeful of you.
Charles Dickens
Moths, and all sorts of ugly creatures, hover about a lighted candle. Can the candle help it?
Charles Dickens
