Quotations On Charles Dickens |
I am
quite serious when I say that I do not believe there
are, on the whole earth besides, so many intensified
bores as in these United States. No man can form an
adequate idea of the real meaning of the word,
without coming here.
--
Bores And Boredom
I
never see any difference in boys. I only know two
sorts of boys. Mealy boys and beef-faced boys.
--
Boys
Industry is the soul of business and the keystone of
prosperity.

Business
Nature
gives to every time and season some beauties of its
own; and from morning to night, as from the cradle
to the grave, it is but a succession of changes so
gentle and easy that we can scarcely mark their
progress.

Change
begets change. Nothing propagates so fast. If a man
habituated to a narrow circle of cares and
pleasures, out of which he seldom travels, step
beyond it, though for never so brief a space, his
departure from the monotonous scene on which he has
been an actor of importance would seem to be the
signal for instant confusion. The mine which Time
has slowly dug beneath familiar objects is sprung in
an instant; and what was rock before, becomes but
sand and dust.
--
Change
Charity begins at home, and justice begins next
door.
--
Charity
Cheerfulness and contentment are great beautifiers
and are famous preservers of youthful looks.
--
Cheerfulness
I feel
an earnest and humble desire, and shall till I die,
to increase the stock of harmless cheerfulness.
--
Cheerfulness
Charles Dickens
1812-1870, British Novelist
