All other swindlers upon earth

Charles Dickens Info

There is not a manufacturer

Charles Dickens Info

There is not a manufacturer or tradesman in existence, who would not employ a man who takes a reasonable degree of pride in the appearance of himself and those about him, in preference to a sullen, slovenly fellow, who works doggedly on, regardless of his own clothing and that of his wife and children, and seeming to take pleasure or pride in nothing. ~ Sunday Under Three Heads
