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!

Kent, UK
From December 2011 until December 2012
Plan your private tour through the countryside of Kent that Dickens knew so well and where he gained much of his inspiration. Tread in the footsteps of Dickens through the ancient city of Rochester, see Gads Hill the house he aspired to for so long, take a trip on the River Medway and visit Chatham Dockyard that so fascinated Dickens. Visit the churchyard where the gravestones of Pip’s little brothers and sisters lie. Drive though the evocative Kent marshes and take lunch in one of Dickens’s favourite pubs. Share Dickens’s enthusiasm for the great British seaside by visiting Broadstairs and Margate. We specialise in touring the area so that you can ‘live the books’ of Dickens. Organised by South East Tour Guides.
