Charles John Huffam Dickens Quote

Every generation laughs at the old fashions, but follows religiously the new

It is a characteristic of wisdom not to do desperate things

There are people, who the more you do for them, the less they will do for themselves.

It is more noble by silence to avoid an injury than by argument to overcome it

But what is past my help is past my care

All noble enthusiasms pass through a feverish stage, and grow wiser and more serene
