Trifles make the sum of life.

Charles Dickens 1195 quotes

And what an example of the pow...

And what an example of the power of dress young Oliver Twist was! Wrapped in the blanket which had hitherto formed his only covering, he might have been the child of a nobleman or a beggar;Ђ'it would have been hard for the haughtiest stranger to have fixed his station in society. But now he was enveloped in the old calico robes, that had grown yellow in the same service; he was badged and ticketed, and fell into his place at onceЂ'a parish childЂ'the orphan of a workhouseЂ'the humble, half-starved drudgeЂ'to be cu

Charles Dickens 1195 quotes

They are Man's and they cling ...

They are Man's and they cling to me, appealing from their fathers. This boy is Ignorance and this girl is Want. Beware them both, and all of their degree, but most of all beware this boy for on his brow I see that written which is Doom, unless the writing be erased.

Charles Dickens 1195 quotes

Charles Dickens 1195 quotes

Other sound than the owl's voi...

Other sound than the owl's voice there was none, save the falling of a fountain into its stone basin; for, it was one of those dark nights that hold their breath by the hour together, and then heave a long low sigh, and hold their breath again.

I hope that real love and truth are stronger in the end than any evil or misfortune in the world.

If Husain (as) had fought to quench his worldly desires then I do not understand why his sister, wife, and children accompanied him. It stands to reason therefore, that he sacrificed purely for Islam.

There can be no disparity in marriage like unsuitability of mind and purpose.

Charles Dickens 1195 quotes

Christmas may not bring a sing...

Christmas may not bring a single thing; still, it gives me a song to sing.

Black are the brooding clouds ...

Black are the brooding clouds and troubled the deep waters, when the Sea of Thought, first heaving from a calm, gives up its Dead

Charles Dickens 1195 quotes

Pride is one of the seven dead...

Pride is one of the seven deadly sins; but it cannot be the pride of a mother in her children, for that is a compound of two cardinal virtues - faith and hope.

Charles Dickens 1195 quotes

There are chords in the human ...

There are chords in the human heart- strange, varying strings- which are only struck by accident; which will remain mute and senseless to appeals the most passionate and earnest, and respond at last to the slightest casual touch.

Old Marley was dead as a doornail... The wisdom of our ancestors is in the simile.

We all draw a little and compose a little, and none of us have any idea of time or money.
