Notes

Discovered by Twitter user EverettM, see original source. As they point out, “[w]hile "we forge the chains we wear in life" is a good adage, it doesn't fit the meaning from A Christmas Carol. In life, Marley had little to no chains, but through his actions forged chains that he would wear in death.”
