Charles Dickens

O ’tis love, ’tis love, ’tis love that makes the world go round!

Constancy in love is a good thing; but it means nothing, and is nothing, without constancy in every kind of effort.

A loving heart is the truest wisdom.

Have a heart that never hardens, and a temper that never tires, and a touch that never hurts.

Heaven knows we need never be ashamed of our tears, for they are rain upon the blinding dust of earth, overlying our hard hearts. I was better after I had cried, than before–more sorry, more aware of my own ingratitude, more gentle.

Reflect upon your present blessings — of which every man has many – not on your past misfortunes, of which all men have some.

When you’ve suffered a great deal in life, each additional pain is both unbearable and trifling.
