Charles Dickens
Industry is the soul of business and the keystone of prosperity.
Charles Dickens
Women can always put things in fewest words. Except when it's blowing up and then they lengthens it out.
Charles Dickens

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
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
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

That I should innocently take a bad half-crown of somebody else's manufacture, is reasonable enough but that I should knowingly reckon the spurious coin of my own make, as good money!
Charles Dickens
In love of home, the love of country has its rise.
Charles Dickens
Have a heart that never hardens, and a temper that never tires, and a touch that never hurts.
Charles Dickens
The American woman is a monstrosity.
Charles Dickens
things cannot be expected to turn up of themselves. We must in a measure assist to turn them up
Charles Dickens
We are so very 'umble.
Charles Dickens
Every failure teaches a man something, if he will learn and you are too sensible a man not to learn from this failure.
Charles Dickens
May I tell you why it seems to me a good thing for us to remember wrong that has been done us? That we may forgive it.
Charles Dickens
The broken heart. You think you will die, but you just keep living, day after day after terrible day.
Charles Dickens
