We are each of an unsocial, taciturn disposition, unwilling to speak, unless we expect to say something that will amaze the whole room, and be handed down to posterity with all the eclat of a proverb.
Jane Austen
Oh, Lizzy! do anything rather than marry without affection.
Jane Austen
Every impulse of feeling should be guided by reason and, in my opinion, exertion should always be in proportion to what is required.
