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!

Dickens and Massachusetts: A Tale of Power and Transformation
University of Massachusetts Lowell & Lowell National Historical Park (USA)
Fri, 30th March 2012 - Sat, 20th October 2012
'Dickens and Massachusetts: A Tale of Power and Transformation' is a major exhibition exploring Dickens’s travels in Massachusetts and America, including his memorable 1842 visit to Lowell. Featuring rare, little-seen Dickens artifacts from eight major collections and museums (including Francis Alexander’s acclaimed 1842 portrait, receiving its first public viewing in 30 years), 'Dickens and Massachusetts' catches this literary lion early in his brilliant career—as a young man discovering his creative powers and his growing influence as a public figure and social reformer. It examines how Massachusetts influenced his work, and how that work in turn continues to influence and transform new generations of readers. Sponsored by the University of Massachusetts Lowell and Lowell National Historical Park, the exhibition is the centerpiece of 'Dickens in Lowell', a seven-month slate of performances, speakers, and family programs that together add up to the largest Dickens bicentenary celebration in New England.
