"I should never have made my success..." - Quote by Charles Dickens

“When I have come to you, at last (as I have always done), I have come to peace and happiness. I come home, now, like a tired traveller, and find such a blessed sense of rest!”

“So the case stands, and under all the passion of the parties and the cries of battle lie the two chief moving causes of the struggle. Union means so many millions a year lost to the South; secession means the loss of the same millions to the North. The love of money is the root of this as of many many other evils ... the quarrel between North and South is, as it stands, solely a fiscal quarrel.”

“You speak so feelingly and so manfully, Charles Darnay”

“If you were a man, you'd go into businessfor yourself. I know a fellow who started out last year with just acanoe. Now he's got more women than you can shake a stick at, ifthat's your idea of a good time.”

“When I was young, I was no one. Now, I'm worldwilde.”

“I know quite certainly that I myself have no special talent; curiosity, obsession and dogged endurance, combined with self-criticism, have brought me to my ideas.”

“Everything yields to diligence.”

“Whatever you do, do with all your might.”

“Like the star that shines afar, Without haste and without rest, Let each one wheel with steady sway Round the task that rules the day, And do their best.”
