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, UK
April 2012
London Libraries will be celebrating Dickens’s bicentenary with a city-wide read of Oliver Twist. We’re inviting London’s residents, visitors and students to find out more about the book, its author, and London’s history in a month-long programme of events in libraries, cinemas, museums and other venues, and online.
This will be London’s first ever pan-London community reading festival, with all 33 of the capital’s library services hosting a programme of more than 300 events during April 2012, including book groups, children’s events, local studies walks, author readings, film showings and more.
