Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure nineteen six, result happiness. Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure twenty pound ought and six, result misery.
A word in earnest is as good as a speech.
Injustice breeds injustice
Accidents will occur in the best regulated families
No one is useless in this world who lightens the burdens of another
Reflect on your present blessings, of which every man has many; not on your past misfortunes, of which all men have some
The sun does not shine upon this fair earth to meet frowning eyes, depend upon it.
Treachery don't come natural to beaming youth; but trust and pity, love and constancy,--they do, thank God!

Charles Dickens: A Southwark Childhood
Cuming Museum, London (UK)
Tue, 22nd May 2012 - Sat, 27th October 2012
This exhibition, which opens at Southwark’s Cuming Museum will explore Dickens’s experiences of the Borough area of Southwark during his time there in 1824. The places, people and living conditions he experienced during his short time in the area provided inspiration and context to many characters and narratives in his later writing. The exhibition explores these key locations, such as the Marshalsea Prison, St George the Martyr Church and Mint Street workhouse and how they influenced his novels. The exhibition will use objects, artworks and illustrations from the museum’s collection to map Dickens’ experiences and how they informed his writing. Alongside the exhibition there will be a lively events programme for adults and families.
