Charles Dickens
That glorious vision of doing good is so often the sanguine mirage of so many good minds.
Charles Dickens
What is your best, your very best, ale a glass? Two pence halfpenny, says the landlord, is the price of the Genuine Stunning Ale. Then, says I, producing the money, just draw me a glass of the Genuine Stunning, if you please, with a good head on it.
Charles Dickens
I think the Romans must have aggravated one another very much, with their noses. Perhaps, they became the restless people they were, in consequence.
Charles Dickens

Charles Dickens
I think it must somewhere be written that the virtues of mothers shall be visited on their children, as well as the sins of their fathers.
Charles Dickens
It is when our budding hopes are nipped beyond recovery by some rough wind, that we are the most disposed to picture to ourselves what flowers they might have borne, if they had flourished . . .
Charles Dickens
Pride is one of the seven deadly sins but it cannot be the pride of a mother in her children, for that is a compound of two cardinal virtues - faith and hope.
Charles Dickens
The New Testament is the very best book that ever was or ever will be known in the world.
Charles Dickens
He has the power to render us happy or unhappy to make our service light or burdensome a pleasure or a toil. Say that his power lies in words and looks in things so slight and insignificant that it is impossible to add and count 'em up: what then? The happiness he gives, is quite as great as if it cost a fortune.
Charles Dickens
Captain Cuttle, like all mankind, little knew how much hope had survived within him under discouragement, until he felt its death-shock.
Charles Dickens
Take the pencil and write under my name, 'I forgive her.
Charles Dickens
Them which is of other naturs thinks different.
Charles Dickens
If a dread of not being understood be hidden in the breasts of other young people to anything like the extent to which it used to be hidden in mine - which I consider probable, as I have no particular reason to suspect myself of having been a monstrosity - it is the key to many reservations.
