Too many cooks spoil the broth
Jane Austen
All the privilege I claim for my own sex ... is that of loving longest, when existence or hope is gone.
Jane Austen
She was nothing more than a mere good-tempered, civil and obliging Young Woman as such we could scarcely dislike her -- she was only an Object of Contempt
Jane Austen

Jane Austen
Business, you know, may bring you money, but friendship hardly ever does.
Jane Austen
Without scheming to do wrong, or to make others unhappy, there may be error and there may be misery. Thoughtlessness, want of attention to other people's feelings, and want of resolution, will do the business.
Jane Austen
The more I see of the world, the more am I dissatisfied with it.
Jane Austen
I use the verb 'to torment,' as I observed to be your own method, instead of 'to instruct,' supposing them to be now admitted as synonymous.
Jane Austen
You showed me how insufficient were all my pretensions to please a woman worthy of being pleased.
Jane Austen
I do regard her as one who is too modest for the world in general to be aware of half her accomplishments, and too highly accomplished for modesty to be natural of any other woman.
