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 World: A Free Online Conference
Online
Wed, 7th March 2012 - Fri, 9th March 2012
International publishers Wiley-Blackwell will be hosting a free online conference to celebrate the bicentenary of Charles Dickens. Features include video addresses by prominent Dickens scholars, free scholarly papers with discussion forum for each, a 'reading room' with free articles and book chapters from Wiley-Blackwell. The event provides an opportunity for an international group of scholars to discuss the work of one of the world’s most important authors. The emphasis is on illustrating the many ways in which Dickens influenced, and was influenced by, his contact with other countries. More broadly, it is hoped the conference will encourage online discussion about the social, cultural and technological milieu in which (and of which) Dickens wrote. Log on to the discussion - everyone is welcome to participate!
