Charles Dickens
Missionaries are perfect nuisances and leave every place worse than they found it.
Charles Dickens
My daughter, there are times of moral danger when the hardest virtuous resolution to form is flight, and when the most heroic bravery is flight.
Charles Dickens

Charles Dickens
The worst class of sum worked in the every-day world is cyphered by the diseased arithmeticians who are always in the rule of Subtraction as to the merits and successes of others, and never in Addition as to their own.
