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's London book launch at the bookHaus
The bookHaus, London (UK)
Tue, 7th February 2012 - Tue, 7th February 2012
Join us on the anniversary of Dickens's birth as we rename the bookHaus 'The Old Curiosity Shop' and speak with author Peter Clark about Dickens's intimate relationship with London. This event is free, with food and drinks provided. All are welcome! 'Dickens's London' will be for sale at the special price of £7. Peter Clark illuminates the settings of Dickens's greatest works, his life, his journalism and his fiction. Clark's deft interweaving of the modern capital with Dickens's writings allows us to stand in central London and travel to Victorian times, experiencing the streets, sights and sounds through his senses.
