Charles Dickens

Charles Dickens
We came to the house, and it is an old house, full of great chimneys where wood is burnt on ancient dogs upon the hearth, and grim portraits (some of them with grim legends, too) lower distrustfully from the oaken panels of the walls.
Charles Dickens
There is prodigious strength in sorrow and despair.
Charles Dickens
I think it must somewhere be written that the virtues of mothers shall be visited on their children, as well as the sins of their fathers.
Charles Dickens
I admire machinery as much is any man, and am as thankful to it as any man can be for what it does for us. But it will never be a substitute for the face of a man, with his soul in it, encouraging another man to be brave and true.
Charles Dickens
Let me see you ride a donkey over my green again, and as sure as you have a head upon your shoulders, I'll knock your bonnet off, and tread upon it!
Charles Dickens
There is no substitute for thoroughgoing, ardent, and sincere earnestness.
Charles Dickens
Let us be moral. Let us contemplate existence.
Charles Dickens
Tongue well that's a wery good thing when it an't a woman.
Charles Dickens
