"He has the power to render us..." - Quote by Charles Dickens

“All I would say is, that I can go abroad without your family coming forward to favour me, - in short, with a parting Shove of their cold shoulders; and that, upon the whole, I would rather leave England with such impetus as I possess, than derive any acceleration of it from that quarter.”

“Not only is your own happiness and welfare related to others, but the more you help them, the happier you will be.”

“Who are the happiest people on earth? A craftsman or artist whistling over a job well done. A little child building sand castles. A mother, after a busy day, bathing her baby. A doctor who has finished a difficult and dangerous operation, and saved a human life. Happiness lies in a constructive job well done. Get your happiness out of your work or you will never know what happiness is.”

“He is blessed over all mortals who loses no moment of the passing life in remembering the past”
