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!

London fascinated and terrified Dickens. It emerges powerfully in Dickens’s 'Oliver Twist' as a place of striking contrasts and a character in its own right and will be explored in this talk by Dr Tony Williams, former Joint Secretary of the International Dickens Fellowship (1999 - 2006). This talk is free. This event is part of the City of London's programme of events to celebrate Dickens.
