About This Book

A curated sequence of short aphorisms and brief extracts drawn from the novelist's writings, arranged as daily readings labeled by day. Each entry presents pithy moral observations, practical maxims, and character sketches on virtues, friendship, duty, hope, and human foibles, often with the original work or character noted. The selections act as compact reflections suited to daily contemplation, blending wit, moral instruction, and worldly advice into concise standalone lines that together form a thematic sampler of recurring ethical concerns.

Twenty-seventh Day.

There’s a moral in everything, if

we would

only avail ourselves of it.

Dombey and Son.

It is the highest part of the highest creed

to forgive before

memory sleeps, and ever to remember how the

good overcame the evil.

Haunted Man.

There is nothing, no, nothing innocent or

good that dies and is forgotten.

Old Curiosity Shop.

It does not follow that the more talkative a

person becomes

the more agreeable he is.

Dickens.
