More quotes by Jane Austen
Nay, cried Bingley, this is too much, to remember at night all the foolish things that were said in the morning.
Jane Austen
I do not want people to be very agreeable, as it saves me the trouble of liking them a great deal.
Jane Austen
Her mind was all disorder. The past, present, future, every thing was terrible.
Jane Austen
And to all this she must yet add something more substantial, in the improvement of her mind by extensive reading.
Jane Austen
You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you. -Mr. Darcy
Jane Austen
I am not romantic, you know I never was.
Jane Austen
In vain have I struggled. It will not do. My feelings will not be repressed. You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you.
Jane Austen
A large income is the best recipe for happiness I ever heard of.
Jane Austen
Goldsmith tells us, that when lovely woman stoops to folly, she has nothing to do but to die and when she stoops to be disagreeable, it is equally to be recommended as a clearer of ill-fame.
Jane Austen
Those who have not more must be satisfied with what they have.
Jane Austen
If you were to give me forty such men, I never could be so happy as you. Till I have your disposition, your goodness, I never can have your happiness. No, no, let me shift for myself and, perhaps, if I have very good luck, I may meet with another Mr. Collins in time.
Jane Austen
I am come, young ladies, in a very moralizing strain, to observe that our pleasures of this world are always to be for, and that we often purchase them at a great disadvantage, giving readi-monied actual happiness for a draft on the future, that may not be honoured.
Jane Austen
At my time of life opinions are tolerably fixed. It is not likely that I should now see or hear anything to change them.
Jane Austen
Whom are you going to dance with?' asked Mr. Knightley. She hesitated a moment and then replied, 'With you, if you will ask me.' Will you?' said he, offering his hand. Indeed I will. You have shown that you can dance, and you know we are not really so much brother and sister as to make it at all improper.' Brother and sister! no, indeed.
Jane Austen
Yes, vanity is a weakness indeed. But pride - where there is a real superiority of mind, pride will be always under good regulation.
Jane Austen
Incline us oh God! to think humbly of ourselves, to be severe only in the examination of our own conduct, to consider our fellow-creatures with kindness, and to judge of all they say and do with that charity which we would desire from them ourselves.
Jane Austen
I think him every thing that is worthy and amiable.
Jane Austen
Give a girl an education and introduce her properly into the world
Jane Austen
You must be the best judge of your own happiness.
Jane Austen
I cannot make speeches, Emma...If I loved you less, I might be able to talk about it more. But you know what I am. You hear nothing but truth from me. I have blamed you, and lectured you, and you have borne it as no other woman in England would have borne it.
Jane Austen
