"I can never close my lips where..." - Quote by Charles Dickens

“So, Mr. Chadband-of whom the persecutors say that it is no wonder he should go on for any length of time uttering such abominable nonsense, but that the wonder rather is that he should ever leave off, having once the audacity to begin-retires into private life until he invests a little capital of supper in the oil-trade.”

“Buy an annuity cheap, and make your life interesting to yourself and everybody else that watches the speculation.”

“Consider nothing impossible, then treat possiblities as probabilities.”

“Honesty is often the best policy, but sometimes the appearance of it is worth six of it.”

“For every good reason there is to lie, there is a better reason to tell the truth.”

“A 'No' uttered from the deepest conviction is better than a 'Yes' merely uttered to please, or worse, to avoid trouble.”

“I consider myself to be just one among 7 billion human beings. If I were to think of myself as different from others, or as something special, it would create a barrier between us. What makes us the same is that we all want to lead happy lives and gather friends around us. And friendship is based on trust, honesty and openness.”

“All you've got to do is own up to your ignorance honestly, and you'll find people who are eager to fill your head with information.”

“Genuine human friendship is on the basis of human affection, irrespective of your position. Therefore, the more you show concern about the welfare and rights of others, the more you are a genuine friend. The more you remain open and sincere, then ultimately more benefits will come to you. If you forget or do not bother about others, then eventually you will lose your own benefit.”
