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 Inimitable Dickens by Gwen Whippy
Medway Little Theatre, Rochester, UK
Mon, 6th February 2012 - Sat, 11th February 2012
Largely using his own words, The Inimitable Dickens builds up an unforgettable portrait of a Jekyll-and-Hyde character who paid a great price for his great talent. The play shows how ashamed he was to be sent to work at a blacking factory when he was only 12 years old; how the astonishing overnight success of Pickwick made him a public figure while he was still in his 20s; and how his life was clouded by turbulent relationships with women.
