"It is not possible to know how..." - Quote by Charles Dickens

“Don't you think that any secret course is an unworthy one?”

“With throbbing veins and burning skin, eyes wild and heavy, thoughts hurried and disordered, he felt as though the light were a reproach, and shrunk involuntarily from the day as if he were some foul and hideous thing.”

“There is prodigious strength in sorrow and despair.”

“Influence is not government.”

“We love force and we care very little how it is exhibited.”

“Infancy conforms to nobody: all conform to it, so that one babe commonly makes four or five out of the adults who prattle and play to it.”

“Virtue is more to man than either water or fire. I have seen men die from treading on water and fire, but I have never seen a man die from treading the course of virtue.”

“It is no easy task to be good.”

“Those who conduct themselves with morality, integrity and consistency need not fear the forces of inhumanity and cruelty.”
