More quotes by Charles Dickens
For nature gives to every time and season some beauties of its own and from morning to night, as from the cradle to the grave, it is but a succession of changes so gentle and easy that we can scarcely mark their progress.
Charles Dickens
Dead, your Majesty. Dead, my lords and gentlemen. Dead, Right Reverends and Wrong Reverends of every order. Dead, men and women, born with Heavenly compassion in your hearts. And dying thus around us every day.
Charles Dickens
And numerous indeed are the hearts to which Christmas brings a brief season of happiness and enjoyment.
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
It is well for a man to respect his own vocation whatever it is and to think himself bound to uphold it and to claim for it the respect it deserves
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
In fine weather the old gentelman is almost constantly in the garden and when it is too wet to go into it, he will look out the window at it, by the hour together. He has always something to do there, and you will see him digging, and sweeping, and cutting, and planting, with manifest delight.
Charles Dickens
The last trumpet ever to be sounded shall blow even algebra to wreck.
Charles Dickens
Any man may be in good spirits and good temper when he's well dressed. There ain't much credit in that.
Charles Dickens
There is probably a smell of roasted chestnuts and other good comfortable things all the time, for we are telling Winter Stories - Ghost Stories, or more shame for us - round the Christmas fire and we have never stirred, except to draw a little nearer to it.
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
For the night-wind has a dismal trick of wandering round and round a building of that sort, and moaning as it goes and of trying, with its unseen hand, the windows and the doors and seeking out some crevices by which to enter.
Charles Dickens
Never, said my aunt, be mean in anything never be false never be cruel. Avoid those three vices, Trot, and I can always be hopeful of you.
Charles Dickens
True love believes everything, and bears everything, and trusts everything.
Charles Dickens
Troubles are exceedingly gregarious in their nature, and flying in flocks are apt to perch capriciously.
Charles Dickens
It will be your duty, and it will be your pleasure too to estimate her (as you chose her) by the qualities that she has, and not by the qualities she may not have.
Charles Dickens
But injustice breeds injustice the fighting with shadows and being defeated by them necessitates the setting up of substances to combat.
Charles Dickens
Old Marley was dead as a doornail... The wisdom of our ancestors is in the simile.
Charles Dickens
It was the first time it had ever occurred to me, that this detestable cant of false humility might have originated out of the Heep family. I had seen the harvest, but had never thought of the seed.
Charles Dickens
I went away, dear Agnes, loving you. I stayed away, loving you. I returned home, loving you!
Charles Dickens
