Charles Dickens

"The age of chivalry is past. Bores have succeeded to dragons."

"It was the best of times, it was the worst of times."

"A boy's story is the best that is ever told."

"There are books of which the backs and covers are by far the best parts."

"Most men are individuals no longer so far as their business, its activities, or its moralities are concerned. They are not units but fractions."

"The first rule of business is: Do other men for they would do you."
