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!

Simon Callow: Charles Dickens & The Great Theatre of the World
Loughborough Town Hall, Loughborough (UK)
Thu, 9th February 2012 - Thu, 9th February 2012
‘Charles Dickens & The Great Theatre of the World’ is an entertaining biography which reveals an original genius, and offers a compelling insight into a life driven by performance. Simon Callow played Dickens in his hugely successful one-man show ‘The Mystery of Charles Dickens’ by Peter Ackroyd, as well as on television several times including ‘An Audience with Charles Dickens’ (BBC, 1996) and in ‘The Unquiet Dead’, a 2005 episode of the BBC series Doctor Who. In 2008, he appeared at the Edinburgh Festival performing two short plays by Dickens, "Dr Marigold" and "Mr Chops", which successfully toured last year.
