More quotes by Charles Dickens
Everybody said so. Far be it from me to assert that what everybody says must be true. Everybody is, often, as likely to be wrong as right.
Charles Dickens
The two stand in the fast-thinning throng of victims, but they speak as if they were alone. Eye to eye, voice to voice, hand to hand, heart to heart, these two children of the Universal Mother, else so wide apart and differing, have come together on the dark highway, to repair home together and to rest in her bosom.
Charles Dickens
Try not to associate bodily defect with mental, my good friend, except for a solid reason
Charles Dickens
When the wind is blowing and the sleet or rain is driving against the dark windows, I love to sit by the fire, thinking of what I have read in books of voyage and travel.
Charles Dickens
Do the wise thing and the kind thing too, and make the best of us and not the worst.
Charles Dickens

Charles Dickens

Charles Dickens

Charles Dickens
I only ask for information.
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
Christmas is a poor excuse every 25th of December to pick a man's pockets.
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
... when he saw her sitting there all alone, so young, and good, and beautiful, and kind to him and heard her thrilling voice, so natural and sweet, and such a golden link between him and all his life's love and happiness, rising out of the silence he turned his face away, and hid his tears.
Charles Dickens
They are Man's and they cling to me, appealing from their fathers. This boy is Ignorance and this girl is Want. Beware them both, and all of their degree, but most of all beware this boy for on his brow I see that written which is Doom, unless the writing be erased.
Charles Dickens
Consider nothing impossible, then treat possiblities as probabilities.
Charles Dickens
Don't you think that any secret course is an unworthy one?
Charles Dickens
There is no such passion in human nature, as the passion for gravy among commercial gentlemen.
