"Of little worth as life is when..." - Quote by Charles Dickens

“The beating of my heart was so violent and wild that I felt as if my life were breaking from me.”

“Man cannot really improve himself without improving others.”

“I will live in the past, the present, and the future. The spirits of all three shall strive within me.”

“Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving.”

“Every face, every shop, bedroom window, public-house, and dark square is a picture feverishly turned--in search of what? It is the same with books. What do we seek through millions of pages?”

“There are dreadful moments when death comes very near those we love, even if for the time being it passes by. But life is a great adventure, and the worst of all fears is the fear of living.”

“I know for sure that's what we're here to do: Keep the joy thing going for all seasons.”

“Business must be run at a profit, else it will die. But when anyone tries to run a business solely for profit, then also the business must die, for it no longer has a reason for existence.”

“The struggle of today is not altogether for today - it is for a vast future also.”
