Charles Dickens
The Northern onslaught upon slavery was no more than a piece of specious humbug designed to conceal its desire for economic control of the Southern states.
Charles Dickens
There might be some credit in being jolly.
Charles Dickens
Fan the sinking flame of hilarity with the wing of friendship and pass the rosy wine.
Charles Dickens
A merry Christmas to everybody! A happy New Year to all the world!
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
Dignity, and even holiness too, sometimes, are more questions of coat and waistcoat than some people imagine.
Charles Dickens
