More quotes by Charles Dickens
it's not my business, Scrooge returned. It's enough for a man to understand his own business, and not to interfere with other people's. Mine occupies me constantly.
Charles Dickens
He was wise enough to know that nothing ever happened on this globe, for good, at which some people did not have their fill of laughter in the outset
Charles Dickens
... Treachery don't come natural to beaming youth but trust and pity, love and constancy,-they do, thank God!
Charles Dickens

Charles Dickens
The law is an ass, an idiot.

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
It is a far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever done it is a far, far better rest that I go to, than I have ever known.
Charles Dickens
The streets looked small, of course. The streets that we have only seen as children always do I believe when we go back to them
Charles Dickens
No one who can read, ever looks at a book, even unopened on a shelf, like one who cannot.
Charles Dickens
It was the first time it had ever occurred to me, that this detestable cant of false humility might have originated out of the Heep family. I had seen the harvest, but had never thought of the seed.
Charles Dickens
When you drink of the water, don't forget the spring from which it flows.
Charles Dickens
He was consious of a thousand odours floating in the air, each one connected with a thousand thoughts, and hopes, and joys, and cares, long, long, forgotten.
Charles Dickens
The cold hoarfrost glistened on the tombstones, and sparkled like rows of gems, among the stone carvings of the old church. The snow lay hard and crisp upon the ground and spread over the thickly-strewn mounds of earth, so white and smooth a cover, that it seemed as if corpses lay there, hidden only by their winding sheets.
Charles Dickens
. . . in seclusion, she had secluded herself from a thousand natural and healing influences that, her mind, brooding solitary, had grown diseased, as all minds do and must and will that reverse the appointed order of their Maker . . .
Charles Dickens
