Famous quotes

'A Christmas Carol' Quotes

"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."


The light of other days

by Thomas Moore

Oft in the stilly night,

Ere slumber's chain has bound me,

Fond memory brings the light

Of other days around me:

The smiles, the tears

Of boyhood's years,

The words of love then spoken;

The eyes that shone,

Now dimm'd and gone,

The cheerful hearts now broken!
