Quotations On Charles Dickens |
Lord,
keep my memory green.

like bodies, will often fall into a pimpled,
ill-conditioned state from mere excess of comfort.

Dollars! All their cares, hopes, joys, affections,
virtues, and associations seemed to be melted down
into dollars. Whatever the chance contributions that
fell into the slow cauldron of their talk, they made
the gruel thick and slab with dollars. Men were
weighed by their dollars, measures were gauged by
their dollars; life was auctioned, appraised, put
up, and knocked down for its dollars. The next
respectable thing to dollars was any venture having
their attainment for its end. The more of that
worthless ballast, honor and fair-dealing, which any
man cast overboard from the ship of his Good Nature
and Good Intent, the more ample stowage-room he had
for dollars. Make commerce one huge lie and mighty
theft. Deface the banner of the nation for an idle
rag; pollute it star by star; and cut out stripe by
stripe as from the arm of a degraded soldier. Do
anything for dollars! What is a flag to them!

Oh the
nerves, the nerves; the mysteries of this machine
called man! Oh the little that unhinges it, poor
creatures that we are!

They
are so filthy and bestial that no honest man would
admit one into his house for a water-closet doormat.

The
bright old day now dawns again; the cry runs through
the land, in England there shall be dear bread -- in
Ireland, sword and brand; and poverty, and
ignorance, shall swell the rich and grand, so rally
round the rulers with the gentle iron hand, of the
fine old English Tory days; hail to the coming time!
