Charles Dickens

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

• A very little key will open a very heavy door.
• Ask no questions, and you'll be told no lies.

• Don't leave a stone unturned. It's always something, to know you have done the most you could.
• Every traveler has a home of his own, and he learns to appreciate it the more from his wandering.
• Family not only needs to consist of merely those whom we share blood, but also of those whom we'd give blood.
• Happiness is a gift and the trick is not to expect it, but to delight in it when it comes.

• Never close your lips to those whom you have already opened your heart.
• No one is useless in this world who lightens the burdens of another.
• One always begins to forgive a place as soon as it's left behind.
• Reflect upon your present blessings of which every man has many - not on your past misfortunes, of which all men have some.
• The first rule of business; treat others like they want to treat you.

• The pain of parting is nothing to the joy of meeting again.
• There are dark shadows on the earth, but its lights are stronger in the contrast.
• There is a wisdom of the head, and a wisdom of the heart.
• There is a wisdom of the head, and there is a wisdom of the heart.
• There is nothing in the world so irresistibly contagious as laughter and good humor.
• We forge the chains we wear in life.
• We need never be ashamed of our tears.
