More quotes by Anne Bronte
I possess the faculty of enjoying the company of those I - of my friends as well in silence as in conversation.
Anne Bronte
He had not breathed a word of love, or dropped one hint of tenderness or affection, and yet I had been supremely happy. To be near him, to hear him talk as he did talk, and to feel that he thought me worthy to be so spoken to - capable of understanding and duly appreciating such discourse - was enough.
Anne Bronte
My soul is awakened, my spirit is soaring and carried aloft on the wings of the breeze.
Anne Bronte
God will judge us by our own thoughts and deeds, not by what others say about us.
Anne Bronte
There's nothing like active employment, I suppose, to console the afflicted.
Anne Bronte
All our talents increase in the using, and every faculty, both good and bad, strengthens by exercise.
Anne Bronte
But, God knows best, I concluded.
Anne Bronte
Then, you must fall each into your proper place. You'll do your business, and she, if she's worthy of you, will do hers but it's your business to please yourself, and hers to please you.
Anne Bronte
Reading is my favourite occupation, when I have leisure for it and books to read.
Anne Bronte
The end of Religion is not to teach us how to die, but how to live.
Anne Bronte
How odd it is that we so often weep for each other's distresses, when we shed not a tear for our own!
Anne Bronte
She left me, offended at my want of sympathy, and thinking, no doubt, that I envied her. I did not - at least, I firmly believed I did not.
Anne Bronte
the best compliment to a mother is to appreciate her little one.
Anne Bronte
It is foolish to wish for beauty. Sensible people never either desire it for themselves or care about it in others. If the mind be but well cultivated, and the heart well disposed, no one ever cares for the exterior.
Anne Bronte
I would rather have your friendship than the love of any other woman in the world.
Anne Bronte
Life and hope must cease together.
Anne Bronte
You may think it all very fine, Mr. Huntingdon, to amuse yourself with rousing my jealousy but take care you don't rouse my hate instead. And when you have once extinguished my love, you will find it no easy matter to kindle it again.
Anne Bronte
If you would have your son to walk honourably through the world, you must not attempt to clear the stones from his path, but teach him to walk firmly over them - not insist upon leading him by the hand, but let him learn to go alone.
Anne Bronte
I would not send a poor girl into the world, ignorant of the snares that beset her path nor would I watch and guard her, till, deprived of self-respect and self-reliance, she lost the power or the will to watch and guard herself .
Anne Bronte
Thank heaven, I am free and safe at last!
Anne Bronte
