Jane Austen
Trusting that you will some time or other do me greater justice than you can do now.
Jane Austen
If I could not be persuaded into doing what I thought wrong, I never will be tricked into it.
Jane Austen

Jane Austen
The publicis rather apt to be unreasonably discontented when a woman does marry again, than when she does not.
Jane Austen
