Jane Austen
Time, time will heal the wound.
Jane Austen
Everybody has their taste in noises as well as in other matters and sounds are quite innoxious, or most distressing, by their sort rather than their quantity.

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
