Those who do not complain are never pitied.
Jane Austen
To be fond of dancing was a certain step towards falling in love.
Jane Austen
To flatter and follow others, without being flattered and followed in turn, is but a state of half enjoyment.
Jane Austen
To look almost pretty is an acquisition of higher delight to a girl who has been looking plain for the first fifteen years of her life than a beauty from her cradle can ever receive.
Jane Austen
To sit in the shade on a fine day and look upon verdure is the most perfect refreshment.
Jane Austen
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.
Jane Austen
Vanity working on a weak head, produces every sort of mischief.
Jane Austen
We do not look in our great cities for our best morality.
Jane Austen
We have all a better guide in ourselves, if we would attend to it, than any other person can be.
Jane Austen
What is right to be done cannot be done too soon.
Jane Austen
What wild imaginations one forms where dear self is concerned! How sure to be mistaken!
Jane Austen
Where an opinion is general, it is usually correct.
Jane Austen
Where youth and diffidence are united, it requires uncommon steadiness of reason to resist the attraction of being called the most charming girl in the world.
Jane Austen

Jane Austen
