Charles Dickens quotes

English novelist, generally considered the greatest of the Victorian era, 1812-1870


But I am sure that I have always thought of Christmas time, when it has come round...as a good time; a kind, forgiving, charitable, pleasant time; the only time I know of, in the long calendar of the year, when men and women seem by one consent to open their shut-up hearts freely.

 

It is a melancholy truth that even great men have their poor relations.

 

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

 

Law is an ass, an idiot.

 

An idea, like a ghost, must be spoken to a little before it will explain itself.

 

Electric communication will never be a substitute for the face of someone who with their soul encourages another person to be brave and true.

 

Have a heart that never hardens, and a temper that never tires, and a touch that never hurts.

 

I am sure that I have always thought of Christmas time, when it has come round...as a good time; a kind, forgiving, charitable, pleasant time; the only time I know of, in the long calendar of the year, when men and women seem by one consent to open their shut-up hearts freely.

 

I never could have done what I have done without the habits of punctuality, order, and diligence, without the determination to concentrate myself on one subject at a time.

 

I will honor Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all year.
