More quotes by Charles Dickens
True love believes everything, and bears everything, and trusts everything.
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
He was the meekest of his sex, the mildest of little men. He sidled in and out of a room, to take up the less space. He walked as softly as the Ghost in Hamlet, and more slowly. He carried his head on one side, partly in modest depreciation of himself, partly in modest propitiation of everybody else.
Charles Dickens
the sight of me is good for sore eyes
Charles Dickens

Charles Dickens
Old Marley was dead as a doornail... The wisdom of our ancestors is in the simile.
Charles Dickens

Charles Dickens
There might be some credit in being jolly.
Charles Dickens
Oh the nerves, the nerves the mysteries of this machine called man! Oh the little that unhinges it, poor creatures that we are!
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
God bless us, every one!
Charles Dickens
Subdue your appetites, my dears, and you've conquered human nature .
Charles Dickens
On the motionless branches of some trees, autumn berries hung like clusters of coral beads, as in those fabled orchards where the fruits were jewels . . .
Charles Dickens
Ah, if only I had brought a cigar with me! This would have established my identity.
Charles Dickens
The privileges of the side-table included the small prerogatives of sitting next to the toast, and taking two cups of tea to other people's one.
Charles Dickens
Then what can you want to do now? said the old lady,gaining courage. I wants to make your flesh creep, replied the boy.
Charles Dickens
Everything that Mr Smallweed's grandfather ever put away in his mind was a grub at first, and is a grub at last. In all his life he has never bred a single butterfly.
Charles Dickens
Skewered through and through with office-pens, and bound hand and foot with red tape.
Charles Dickens
