Charles Dickens

“To conceal anything from those to whom I am attached, is not in my nature. I can never close my lips where I have opened my heart.”

“Subdue your appetites, my dears, and you've conquered human nature.”

“There are dark shadows on the earth, but its lights are stronger in the contrast.”

“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.”

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

“There is a wisdom of the head, and a wisdom of the heart.”

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