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!

Conversation with Dominick Argento [Pre-Show Discussion] (Argento Celebration)
Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center, University of Maryland, USA
Sat, 21st April 2012 - Sat, 21st April 2012
Many of the works featured in the Argento celebration are based on writings of Petrarch, Chekhov, Dickens and others. How does classic literature like 'Great Expectations' resonate with a composer to inspire a new work of art? The composer talks about his clear attachment to writing for the voice and why he is inspired to turn certain pieces into music. The discussion will take place on 21 April at 6pm. The event is free; no ticket is required.
