 Credit is a system whereby a person who can't pay gets another person who can't pay to guarantee that he can pay

 Darkness is cheap, and Scrooge liked it.

 Do all the good you can, and make as little fuss about it as possible.

 Do you spell it with a "V" or a "W"?' inquired the judge. 'That depends upon the taste and fancy of the speller, my Lord'...

 Dollars! All their cares, hopes, joys, affections, virtues, and associations seemed to be melted down into dollars. Whatever the chance contributions that fell into the slow cauldron of their talk, they made the gruel thick and slab with dollars. Men were weighed by their dollars, measures were gauged by their dollars; life was auctioned, appraised, put up, and knocked down for its dollars. The next respectable thing to dollars was any venture having their attainment for its end. The more of that worthless ballast, honor and fair-dealing, which any man cast overboard from the ship of his Good Nature and Good Intent, the more ample stowage-room he had for dollars. Make commerce one huge lie and mighty theft. Deface the banner of the nation for an idle rag; pollute it star by star; and cut out stripe by stripe as from the arm of a degraded soldier. Do anything for dollars! What is a flag to them!

 Dreams are the bright creatures of poem and legend, who sport on earth in the night season, and melt away in the first beam of the sun, which lights grim care and stern reality on their daily pilgrimage through the world.

 Drink with me, my dear, said Mr. Weller. "Put your lips to this here tumbler, and then I can kiss you by deputy."

 Dumb as a drum vith a hole in it, sir.

 Eccentricities of genius.

 Educating the natives of Borrioboola-Gha, on the left bank of the Niger.

 Electric communication will never be a substitute for the face of someone who with their soul encourages another person to be brave and true.

 Every baby born into the world is a finer one than the last

 External heat and cold had little influence on Scrooge. No warmth could warm, no wintry weather chill him. No wind that blew was bitterer than he, no falling snow was more intent upon its purpose, no pelting rain less open to entreaty.

 Fan the sinking flame of hilarity with the wing of friendship; and pass the rosy wine.
