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 the Crime Writer - Oxford University Summerschool course
Christ Church, University of Oxford
Sun, 1st July 2012 - Sat, 7th July 2012
Five days studying what is an undervalued aspect of his writing - Dickens's pioneering crime novels at Oxford Univesity. We study 'Oliver Twist', his first true novel, 'Bleak House', possibly his masterpiece, and the tantalisingly unfinished 'The Mystery of Edwin Drood'. Through discussing these novels, and through deciding how to finish Edwin Drood, we will come to appreciate Dickens’s skill as a writer, his unique style, and the exuberance of his work. Seminars meet each weekday morning, with afternoons free for course-related field trips, individual study or exploring the many beautiful places in and around the city.
