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!

Streets of Dickens: Holborn, Hampstead and St Pancras
Camden Local Studies and Archives Centre, London (UK)
Tue, 7th February 2012 - Fri, 21st December 2012
We are celebrating the 200th anniversary of his birth with a free exhibition of photographs, illustrations and archives in our collection. This free exhibition explores the many connections between the novelist and the area which today comprises the London Borough of Camden. Dickens lived much of his life in this part of London, many of his characters live here, many of his scenes are set here and his writing, both fictional and factual, contains a multitude of descriptions of the area as it was in his day. This exhibition runs from 7 February to the 21 December 2012 during our normal opening hours.
