It is a far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever done

My only disappointment was that he opted not to include what was, for me, the most unforgettable of all last lines of classic fiction, uttered by Sydney Carton on his way to the guillotine in place of his friend Charles Darnay in Charles Dickens’s “A Tale of Two Cities”: “It is a far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever done; it is a far, far better rest that I go to than I have ever known.”

At the end, in a graveyard elegy, Alfred reads the last lines from : “It is a far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever done; it is a far, far better place that I go to than I have ever known.”

"It is a far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever done; it is a far, far better rest that I go to than I have ever known."

It is a far, far better thing that I do than I have ever done, so to speak.

He spoke aloud those great last words: "It is a far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever done; it is a far, far better rest that I go to—" A whiskered head on the end of a long, corrugated red neck protruded from the smokehouse door.
