Jane Austen
I declare after all there is no enjoyment like reading! How much sooner one tires of any thing than of a book! -- When I have a house of my own, I shall be miserable if I have not an excellent library.
Jane Austen
Happiness in marriage is entirely a matter of chance.
Jane Austen
To you I shall say, as I have often said before, Do not be in a hurry, the right man will come at last.
