More quotes by Jane Austen

Image
Maybe it’s that I find it hard to forgive the follies and vices of others, or their offenses against me. My good opinion, once lost, is lost forever.
Jane Austen
Image
Catherine had never wanted comfort more, and he [Henry] looked as if he was aware of it.
Jane Austen
Image
Sometimes one is guided by what they say of themselves, and very frequently by what other people say of them, without giving oneself time to deliberate and judge. -Elinor Dashwood
Jane Austen
Image
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
Image
Vanity and pride are different things, though the words are often used synonymously. A person may be proud without being vain. Pride relates more to our opinion of ourselves vanity, to what we would have others think of us.
Jane Austen
Image
“It is not everyone,” said Elinor, “who has your passion for dead leaves.”
Jane Austen
Image
Vanity, not love, has been my folly.
Jane Austen
Image
People that marry can never part, but must go and keep house together. People that dance only stand opposite each other in a long room for half an hour.
Jane Austen
Image
[I]t is well to have as many holds upon happiness as possible.
Jane Austen
Image
There is nothing like employment, active indispensable employment, for relieving sorrow. Employment, even melancholy, may dispel melancholy.
Jane Austen
Image
We are all fools in love.
Jane Austen
Image
Elinor was to be the comforter of others in her own distresses, no less than in theirs and all the comfort that could be given by assurances of her own composure of mind, and a very earnest vindication of Edward from every charge but of imprudence, was readily offered.
Jane Austen
Image
It is happy for you that you possess the talent of flattering with delicacy. May I ask whether these pleasing attentions proceed from the impulse of the moment, or are they the result of previous study?
Jane Austen
Image
She was stronger alone and her own good sense so well supported her, that her firmness was as unshaken, her appearance of cheerfulness as invariable, as, with regrets so poignant and so fresh, it was possible for them to be.
Jane Austen
Image
It is the misfortune of poetry, to be seldom safely enjoyed by those who enjoy it completely.
Jane Austen
Image
But Catherine did not know her own advantages - did not know that a good-looking girl, with an affectionate heart and a very ignorant mind, cannot fail of attracting a clever young man, unless circumstances are particularly untoward.
Jane Austen
Image
Perhaps it is our imperfections that make us so perfect for one another.
Jane Austen
Image
And pictures of perfection, as you know, make me sick and wicked.
Jane Austen
Image
An interval of meditation, serious and grateful, was the best corrective of everything dangerous.
Jane Austen
Image
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.
