"If I may ride with you, Citizen..." - Quote by Charles Dickens

“The Secretary, working in the Dismal Swamp betimes next morning, was informed that a youth waited in the hall who gave the name of Sloppy. The footman who communicated this intelligence made a decent pause before uttering the name, to express that it was forced on his reluctance by the youth in question, and that if the youth had had the good sense and good taste to inherit some other name it would have spared the feelings of him the bearer.”

“In the little world in which children have their existence, whosoever brings them up, there is nothing so finely perceived and so finely felt, as injustice.”

“I had considered how the things that never happen, are often as much realities to us, in their effects, as those that are accomplished.”

“I believe that a man is the strongest soldier for daring to die unarmed.”

“We gave up everything just to sit at your table.”

“It is easier to find men who will volunteer to die, than to find those who are willing to endure pain with patience.”

“I will keep a smile on my face and in my heart even when it hurts today.”

“To begin is the most important part of any quest and by far the most courageous.”

“I want to think again of dangerous and noble things. I want to be light and frolicsome. I want to be improbable and beautiful and afraid of nothing as though I had wings.”
