Jane Austen Quotes

"One half of the world cannot understand the pleasures of the other""I may have lost my heart, but not my self-control""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""I declare after all there is no enjoyment like reading How much sooner one tires of any thing than of a book""For what do we live but to make sport for our neighbours and laugh at them in our turn""Happiness in marriage is entirely a matter of chance""There is nothing like staying at home for real comfort""It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife""Think only of the past as its remembrance gives you pleasure""A lady's imagination is very rapid; it jumps from admiration to love, from love to matrimony in a moment""There is no charm equal to tenderness of heart"
