Charles Dickens

A boy's story is the best that is ever told. ”

A day wasted on others is not wasted on one's self. ”

No one is useless in this world who lightens the burden of it to anyone else. ”

Cows are my passion. What I have ever sighed for has been to retreat to a Swiss farm, and live entirely surrounded by cows - and china. ”

Tis love that makes the world go round, my baby. ”

I know I do not exaggerate, unconsciously and unintentionally, the scantiness of my resources and the difficulty of my life... I know that, but for the mercy of God, I might easily have been, for any care that was taken of me, a little robber or a vagabond. ”

Whatever I have tried to do in life, I have tried with all my heart to do it well; whatever I have devoted myself to, I have devoted myself completely; in great aims and in small I have always thoroughly been in earnest. ”

We forge the chains we wear in life. ”

There is nothing so strong or safe in an emergency of life as the simple truth. ”

Anything for the quick life, as the man said when he took the situation at the lighthouse. ”
