"I hope that real love and truth are stronger in the end than any evil or misfortune in the world." ~ David Copperfield by Charles Dickens They wanted to speak, but could not; tears stood in their eyes.

It's always something, to know you've done the most you could. But, don't leave off hoping, or it's of no use doing anything. Hope, hope, to the last!" ~ Nicholas Nickleby by Charles Dickens "If our affections be tried, our affections are our consolation and comfort; and memory, however sad, is the best and purest link between this world and a better." ~ Nicholas Nickleby by Charles Dickens "The sun does not shine upon this fair earth to meet frowning eyes, depend upon it." ~ Nicholas Nickleby by Charles Dickens "Virtue is bold, and goodness never fearful." ~ Measure for Measure by William Shakespeare "Love has no age, no limit; and no death." ~ The Forsyte Saga by John Galsworthy "No one is useless in this world," retorted the Secretary, "who lightens the burden of it for any one else." ~ Our Mutual Friend by Charles Dickens
