Charles Dickens
I will honour Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year. I will live in the Past, the Present, and the Future. The Spirits of all Three shall strive within me. I will not shut out the lessons that they teach!
Charles Dickens
Anything that makes a noise is satisfactory to a crowd.
Charles Dickens
Do not repine, my friends, said Mr. Pecksniff, tenderly. Do not weep for me. It is chronic.
Charles Dickens
We must leave the discovery of this mystery, like all others, to time, and accident, and Heaven's pleasure.
Charles Dickens
'Do you spell it with a 'V' or a 'W'?' inquired the judge. 'That depends upon the taste and fancy of the speller, my Lord'.
Charles Dickens
The one great principle of English law is to make business for itself.
Charles Dickens
It is because I think so much of warm and sensitive hearts, that I would spare them from being wounded.
Charles Dickens
But the mere truth won't do. You must have a lawyer.
Charles Dickens
No space of regret can make amends for one life's opportunity misused
