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!

'The Pickwick Papers', a selection Dickens's first novel, brilliantly satirises life in Bath: Mr Pickwick takes the waters. Sam Weller, his faithful servant declares them to have 'a very strong flavour o'warm flat irons' and Mr Dowler and Mr Winkle get involved in a hilarious chase around Royal Crescent.'The Signal-man' is Dickens's famous ghost story of a haunted signal-man and the sounds and sights that trouble him at his lonely signal box.
