More quotes by Charles Dickens
Make them laugh, make them cry, make them wait.
Charles Dickens
A person who can't pay gets another person who can't pay to guarantee that he can pay. Like a person with two wooden legs getting another person with two wooden legs to guarantee that he has got two natural legs. It don't make either of them able to do a walking-match.
Charles Dickens
...and to-morrow looked in my face more steadily than I could look at it
Charles Dickens
Stephen Blackpool fall into the loneliest of lives, the life of solitude among a familiar crowd.

Charles Dickens
I'd lay down my life for her - Mas'r Davy - Oh! most content and cheerful! She's more to me - gent'lmen - than - she's all to me that ever I can want, and more than ever I - than ever I could say. I - I love her true. There ain't a gent'lman in all the land - nor yet sailing upon all the sea - that can love his lady more than I love her.
Charles Dickens
Hours are golden links--God's tokens reaching heaven.
Charles Dickens
Then I'm sorry to say, I've eat your pie.
Charles Dickens
If the parks be the lungs of London we wonder what Greenwich Fair is--a periodical breaking out, we suppose--a sort of spring rash.
Charles Dickens
Gold, for the instant, lost its luster in his eyes, for there were countless treasures of the heart which it could never purchase
Charles Dickens
Skewered through and through with office-pens, and bound hand and foot with red tape.
Charles Dickens
Oh Agnes, Oh my soul, so may thy face be by me when I close my life indeed so may I, when realities are melting from me, like the shadows which I now dismiss, still find thee near me, pointing upward!
Charles Dickens
The last trumpet ever to be sounded shall blow even algebra to wreck.
Charles Dickens
Have a heart that never hardens, and a temper that never tires, and a touch that never hurts.
Charles Dickens
Poverty and oysters always seem to go together.
