15 "A Christmas Carol" quotes I am drawn to

Some of these are poignant, others stand out to me, and some others are funny to me.

1. “`Business!' cried the Ghost, wringing its hands again. `Mankind was my business. The common welfare was my business; charity, mercy, forbearance, and benevolence, were, all, my business. The dealings of my trade were but a drop of water in the comprehensive ocean of my business!'”
2. “`You were always a good friend to me,' said Scrooge. `Thank 'ee!'
   `You will be haunted,' resumed the Ghost, `by Three Spirits.'”
3. “'Good afternoon,' said Scrooge.
   'And A Happy New Year!'
   'Good afternoon!' said Scrooge.”
4. “You may be an undigested bit of beef, a blot of mustard, a crumb of cheese, a fragment of underdone potato. There's more of gravy than of grave about you, whatever you are!”
5. “Old Marley was as dead as a doornail. Mind! I don't mean to say that, of my own knowledge, what there is particularly dead about a doornail. I might have been inclined, myself, to regard a coffin-nail as the deadest piece of ironmongery in the trade. But the wisdom of our ancestors is in the simile; and my unhallowed hands shall not disturb it, or the Country's done for. You will therefore permit me to repeat, emphatically, that Marley was as dead as a doornail.”
6. “The curtains of his bed were drawn aside; and Scrooge, starting up into a half-recumbent attitude, found himself face to face with the unearthly visitor who drew them: as close to it as I am now to you, and I am standing in the spirit at your elbow.”
7. “I release you. With a full heart, for the love of him you once were.”
8. “He lived in chambers that had once belonged to his deceased partner. They were a gloomy suite of rooms, in a lowering pile of building up a yard, where it had so little business to be, that one could scarcely help fancying it must have run there when it was a young house, playing at hide-and-seek with other houses, and forgotten the way out again.”
9. “'Are there no prisons?' said the Spirit, turning on him for the last time with his own words. 'Are there no workhouses?'”
10. “There are many things which I might have derived good, by which I have not profited”
11. “'You wish to be anonymous?'
    'I wish to be left alone,' said Scrooge.”
12. “'What Idol has displaced you?' he rejoined.
    'A golden one.'”
13. “'Merry Christmas! What right have you to be merry? What reason have you to be merry? You're poor enough.'
    'Come, then,' returned the nephew gaily. 'What right have you to be dismal? What reason have you to be morose? You're rich enough.'”
14. “I have endeavored in this Ghostly little book, to raise the Ghost of an Idea, which shall not put my readers out of humor with themselves, with each other, with the season, or with me. May it haunt their houses pleasantly, and no one wish to lay it. Their faithful Friend and Servant, C.D. December, 1843.”
15. “His own heart laughed: and that was quite enough for him.”
