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!

Special 200th birthday dinner at The Dolphin in Old Portsmouth
The Dolphin, Old Portsmouth, Hampshire (UK)
Tue, 7th February 2012 - Tue, 7th February 2012
When Charles Dickens wrote of Portsmouth in 1838, the Portsmouth Philharmonic Society was meeting at The Dolphin Hotel every Tuesday. By 1858, Landlord Richard Budd was running The Dolphin Navy, Army & Family Hotel. On Charles Dickens’s last visit in 1866, William Bond was “mine host” at The Dolphin Hotel which then offered a bowling alley as an added attraction. Now The Dolphin is offering a special bicentenary four-course meal based on references from the novels of Charles Dickens. Costumed actors will perform songs from the stage production of 'Oliver!' including "Food Glorious Food", "I'd Do Anything", "Consider Yourself", "Oom Pah Pah" and "As Long As He Needs Me". The cost for the evening is £24.50 per person and reservations can be made in person at The Dolphin, 41 High Street, Old Portsmouth or by telephone to 023 9282 3595 or by e-mail to dolphinoldportsmouth@yahoo.co.uk.
