Charles Dickens
Of all bad listeners, the worst and most terrible to encounter is the man who is so fond of listening that he wishes to hear, not only your conversation, but that of every other person in the room.
Charles Dickens

Charles Dickens
Walk and be Happy, Walk and be Healthy.
Charles Dickens
Although a skillful flatterer is a most delightful companion if you have him all to yourself, his taste becomes very doubtful when he takes to complimenting other people.
Charles Dickens
Then I'm sorry to say, I've eat your pie.
Charles Dickens
Why, what I may think after dinner, returns Mr. Jobling, is one thing, my dear Guppy, and what I may think before dinner is another thing.
Charles Dickens
