A Christmas Carol Quotes by Charles Dickens

"It matters little," she said, softly. "To you, very little. Another idol has displaced me; and if it can cheer and comfort you in time to come, as I would have tried to do, I have no just cause to grieve." ~ A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens "The school is not quite deserted," said the Ghost. "A solitary child, neglected by his friends, is left there still." ~ A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens "It is required of every man," the ghost returned, "that the spirit within him should walk abroad among his fellow-men, and travel far and wide; and, if that spirit goes not forth in life, it is condemned to do so after death." ~ A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens "You may be an undigested bit of beef, a blot of mustard, a crumb of cheese, a fragment of underdone potato. There's more of gravy than of grave about you, whatever you are!" ~ A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens Darkness is cheap, and Scrooge liked it. ~ A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens "Bah!" said Scrooge. "Humbug!" ~ A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens External heat and cold had little influence on Scrooge. No warmth could warm, no wintry weather chill him. No wind that blew was bitterer than he, no falling snow was more intent upon its purpose, no pelting rain less open to entreaty. ~ A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens Oh, a wonderful pudding! Bob Cratchit said, and calmly too, that he regarded it as the greatest success achieved by Mrs. Cratchit since their marriage. Mrs. Cratchit said that now the weight was off her mind, she would confess she had had her doubts about the quantity of flour. Everybody had something to say about it, but nobody said or thought it was at all a small pudding for a large family. It would have been flat heresy to do so. Any Cratchit would have blushed to hint at such a thing. ~ A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens "There are some upon this earth of yours," returned the Spirit, "who lay claim to know us, and who do their deeds of passion, pride, ill-will, hatred, envy, bigotry, and selfishness in our name, who are as strange to us and all out kith and kin, as if they had never lived. Remember that, and charge their doings on themselves, not us." ~ A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens
