What are some quotes about Scrooge that show his personality and some quotes about his desires/ambitions. some quotes about his appearance and also...

Of all the
memorable characters created by , Scrooge is probably the best known.  In fact, his very name
has become synonymous with that of a cold-hearted miser.  In his novella, Dickens portrays
Scrooge with words that are equally as familiar as his name-- 
"Bah!...Humbug!" 

In Stave I, the reader
learns much about the personality of Scrooge, who does not even stop working when his partner of
many years, Marley, dies.  Nor does he bother to paint over Marley's name; indifferent to his
absence, Scrooge even answers to his name if a client should call him "Marley." 
Dickens describes him as

...a tight-fisted hand at the
grindstone, Scrooge!   A squeezing, wrenching, gasping, clutching, covetous, old sinner!  Hard
and sharp as flint, from which no steel had ever struck out generous fire; secret and
self-contained, and solitary as an oyster.  The cold within him froze his old features, ripped
his pointed nose, shriveled his cheek, stiffened his gait, made his eyes red, his thin lips blue
and spoke out shrewdly in his grating voice.  A frosty rime was on his head, and on he eyebrows,
and his wiry chin.  He carried his own low temperature about with him; he iced his office in the
dogdays; and didn't thaw it one degree at Christmas. 

In
a small cell the clerk of Scrooge's countinghouse works where Scrooge can keep his eyes upon
him.  Scrooge is so parsimonious that he

has a very small
fire, but the clerk's fire was so very much smaller that it looked like one coal.

When his nephew enters his business, heartily wishing him "A
Merry Christmas, uncle!  God save you!" Scrooge gruffly replies,
"Bah!...Humbug!"  He tells his nephew to desist in his wishes or he "will lose
[his] situation," and he refuses his nephew's kind invitation to come to Christmas dinner,
as well, asking him why he has married and dismissing him by growling, "Good
afternoon!"

When two men enter, requesting charity for the poor, Scrooge
asks, "Are there no prisons?" and "no Union workhouse?" in which the poor
are confined.  One of the men tells him that some would rather die than go to the workhouse; to
this, Scrooge dismisses them,

"It is not my
business....It's enough for a man to understand his own business, and not interfere with other
people's.  Mine occupies me constantly.  Good afternoon, gentlemen!"   

Finally, the day draws to its close and Scrooge must release his
clerk, Bob Cratchit, but not before he grumpily says, "...you don't think me ill-used when
I pay a day's wages for no work" as he must allow the man a holiday on Christmas.  Ordering
the man to "Be here all the earlier" the next day, Scrooge reluctantly lets the man go
home.

Clearly, Ebenezer Scrooge is a misanthrope who shares no warmth with
any man.  As he dismisses his nephew, Scrooge declares,

"If I
could work my will,...every idiot who goes about with 'Merry Christmas' on his lips, should be
boiled with his own pudding and buried with a stake of holly through his heart.  He
should!"
