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!

Valerie Browne Lester, the great-great granddaughter of Hablot Knight Browne (Phiz) and author of Phiz, the Man Who Drew Dickens, reveals the real person behind the illustrator of many of Dickens’s greatest novels. By tracing back to Phiz’s antecedents, Valerie has revealed an inherited reason for his talent and discovered images that may surprise her audience. The talk is free but booking is essential. This event is part of the City of London's programme of events to celebrate Dickens.
