Jane Austen Quotes

"It isn't what we say or think that defines us, but what we do""To flatter and follow others, without being flattered and followed in turn, is but a state of half enjoyment""You pierce my soul. I am half agony, half hope""When I fall in love, it will be forever""You must be the best judge of your own happiness""If I could not be persuaded into doing what I thought wrong, I will never be tricked into it""There is nothing so bad as parting with one's friends. One seems too forlorn without them""Know your own happiness. Want for nothing but patience or give it a more fascinating name: call it hope""There could have been no two hearts so open, no tastes so similar, no feelings so in unison, no countenances so beloved""Seldom, very seldom, does complete truth belong to any human disclosure; seldom can it happen that something is not a little disguised, or a little mistaken""We have all a better guide in ourselves if we would attend to it than any other person can be""If I loved you less, I might be able to talk about it more""There is something so amiable in the prejudices of a young mind that one is sorry to see them give way to the reception of more general opinions""It is not everyone who has your passion for dead leaves""Selfishness must always be forgiven, you know, because there is no hope of a cure""I do not want people to be very agreeable, as it saves me the trouble of liking them a great deal""To sit in the shade on a fine day and look upon verdure is the most perfect refreshment""The distance is nothing when one has a motive""To be fond of dancing was a certain step towards falling in love""The person, be it gentleman or lady, who has not pleasure in a good novel, must be intolerably stupid"
