(1812-1870) English Novelist [Charles Dickens at Amazon]
Have a heart that never hardens, and a temper that never tires, and a touch that never hurts.
A loving heart is the truest wisdom.
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness . . . it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair . . . in short, the period was so far like the present period . . .
I will honor Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year.
