More quotes by Charles Dickens
The haggard aspect of the little old man was wonderfully suited to the place he might have groped among old churches and tombs and deserted houses and gathered all the spoils with his own hands. There was nothing in the whole collection but was in keeping with himself nothing that looked older or more worn than he.
Charles Dickens
Satisfy yourself beyond all doubt that you are qualified for the course to which you now aspire.....and try to achieve something in your own land before you venture on a strange one.
Charles Dickens
Think now and then that there is a man who would give his life, to keep a life you love beside you.
Charles Dickens
I wear the chain I forged in life....I made it link by link, and yard by yard I girded it on of my own free will, and of my own free will I wore it.
Charles Dickens
It is a far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever done it is a far, far better rest that I go to, than I have ever known.
Charles Dickens
Remember, to the last, that while there is life there is hope.
Charles Dickens
I fear your kind and open communication, which has rendered me more painfully conscious of my own defects, has not improved me, sighed Kate.
Charles Dickens
Life is made of ever so many partings welded together.
Charles Dickens
He was simply and staunchly true to his duty alike in the large case and in the small. So all true souls ever are. So every true soul ever was, ever is, and ever will be. There is nothing little to the really great in spirit.
Charles Dickens
I see a beautiful city and a brilliant people rising from this abyss, and, in their struggles to be truly free, in their triumphs and defeats, through long years to come, I see the evil of this time and of the previous time of which this is the natural birth, gradually making expiation for itself and wearing out.
Charles Dickens
Most men are individuals no longer so far as their business, its activities, or its moralities are concerned. They are not units but fractions.
Charles Dickens
Let no man turn aside, ever so slightly, from the broad path of honour, on the plausible pretence that he is justified by the goodness of his end. All good ends can be worked out by good means.
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
It is the last straw that breaks the camel's back.
Charles Dickens
Poetry makes life what lights and music do the stage.
Charles Dickens
United metropolitan improved hot muffin and crumpet baking and punctual delivery company.
Charles Dickens
I would like to be going all over the kingdom...and acting everywhere. There's nothing in the world equal to seeing the house rise at you, one sea of delightful faces, one hurrah of applause!
Charles Dickens
In love of home, the love of country has its rise.
Charles Dickens
Listlessness to everything, but brooding sorrow, was the night that fell on my undisciplined heart. Let me look up from it - as at last I did, thank Heaven! - and from its long, sad, wretched dream, to dawn.
Charles Dickens
Heaven suits the back to the burden.
Charles Dickens
