Jane Austen Quotes

One cannot be always laughing at a man without now and then stumbling on something witty. One does not love a place the less for having suffered in it, unless it has been all suffering, nothing but suffering. One half of the world cannot understand the pleasures of the other. One man's style must not be the rule of another's. One man's ways may be as good as another's, but we all like our own best. Respect for right conduct is felt by every body.

The person, be it gentleman or lady, who has not pleasure in a good novel, must be intolerably stupid. There are certainly not so many men of large fortune in the world, as there are pretty women to deserve them. There are people, who the more you do for them, the less they will do for themselves. There is no charm equal to tenderness of heart. There is nothing like staying at home for real comfort. 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. They are much to be pitied who have not been given a taste for nature early in life. Those who do not complain are never pitied.
