More quotes by 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.
Jane Austen
Her eye fell everywhere on lawns and plantations of the freshest green and the trees, though not fully clothed, were in that delightful state when farther beauty is known to be at hand, and when, while much is actually given to the sight, more yet remains for the imagination.
Jane Austen
Surprises are foolish things. The pleasure is not enhanced, and the inconvenience is often considerable.
Jane Austen
Children of the same family, the same blood, with the same first associations and habits, have some means of enjoyment in their power, which no subsequent connections can supply.
Jane Austen
I wonder who first discovered the efficacy of poetry in driving away love!- Elizabeth Bennet
Jane Austen
There is one thing, Emma, which a man can always do if he chooses, and that is his duty not by manoeuvring and finessing, but by vigour and resolution. - Mr. Knightley
Jane Austen
When I look out on such a night as this, I feel as if there could be neither wickedness nor sorrow in the world and there certainly would be less of both if the sublimity of Nature were more attended to, and people were carried more out of themselves by contemplating such a scene.
Jane Austen
Lady Sondes' match surprises, but does not offend me had her first marriage been of affection, or had their been a grown-updaughter, I should not have forgiven her but I consider everybody as having a right to marry once in their lives for love, if they can.
Jane Austen
Nobody minds having what is too good for them.
Jane Austen
You want to tell me, and I have no objection to hearing it.
Jane Austen
Her mind was all disorder. The past, present, future, every thing was terrible.
Jane Austen
It is this delightful habit of journalizing which largely contributes to form the easy style of writing for which ladies are so generally celebrated. Every body allows that the talent of writing is particularly female. Nature might have done something, but I am sure it must be essentially assisted by the practice of keeping a journal.
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
She was feeling, thinking, trembling about everything agitated, happy, miserable, infinitely obliged, absolutely angry.
Jane Austen
If you were to give me forty such men, I never could be so happy as you. Till I have your disposition, your goodness, I never can have your happiness. No, no, let me shift for myself and, perhaps, if I have very good luck, I may meet with another Mr. Collins in time.
Jane Austen
Do not consider me now as an elegant female intending to plague you, but as a rational creature speaking the truth from her heart.
Jane Austen
Full many a flower is born to blush unseen, And waste its fragrance on the desert air.
Jane Austen
I cannot speak well enough to be unintelligible.
Jane Austen
Never could I expect to be so truly beloved and important so always first and always right in any man's eyes as I am in my father's.
Jane Austen
Too many cooks spoil the broth
