There was nothing in the whole collection but was in keeping with himself nothing that looked older or more worn than he.
Charles Dickens
O' course I came to look arter you, my darlin', replied Mr. Weller for once permitting his passion to get the better of his veracity.
Charles Dickens
The aphorism Whatever is, is right, would be as final as it is lazy, did it not include the troublesome consequence that nothing that ever was, was wrong.
Charles Dickens
All of us have wonders hidden in our breasts, only needing circumstances to evoke them.
