Jane Austen

Jane Austen
I understand Crawford paid you a visit? Yes. And was he attentive? Yes, very. And has your heart changed towards him? Yes. Several times. I have - I find that I - I find that- Shh. Surely you and I are beyond speaking when words are clearly not enough.... I missed you. And I you.
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
a vast deal may be done by those who dare to act.
Jane Austen
With women, the heart argues, not the mind.
Jane Austen

Jane Austen

Jane Austen
She felt that she could so much more depend upon the sincerity of those who sometimes looked or said a careless or a hasty thing, than of those whose presence of mind never varied, whose tongue never slipped.
Jane Austen
She was happy, she knew she was happy, and knew she ought to be happy.
Jane Austen
There is a stubbornness about me that never can bear to be frightened at the will of others. My courage always rises at every attempt to intimidate me.
Jane Austen
I have never yet known what it was to separate esteem from love
Jane Austen
Portable property is happiness in a pocketbook.
Jane Austen
... But he recommended the books which charmed her leisure hours, he encouraged her taste, and corrected her judgment he made reading useful by talking to her of what she read, and heightened its attraction by judicious praise.
Jane Austen
Time did not compose her.
Jane Austen
It would be difficult to say which had seen highest perfection in the other, or which had been the happiest: she, in receiving his declarations and proposals, or he in having them accepted.
Jane Austen
The mere habit of learning to love is the thing and a teachableness of disposition in a young lady is a great blessing
Jane Austen
Respect for right conduct is felt by every body.
