"Evil to some is always good to..." - Quote by Jane Austen

“If the heroine of one novel be not patronized by the heroine of another, from whom can she expect protection and regard?”

“Run mad as often as you choose, but do not faint!”

“She denied none of it aloud, and agreed to none of it in private.”

“Say not, 'I have found the truth,' but rather, 'I have found a truth.'”

“If you find yourself lost in the woods, build a house. "Well, I was lost, but now I live here!"”

“Keep your face always toward the sunshine everything could be worse but isn't and so we are justified in being grateful - and shadows everything could be better but isn't and so it is easy to be bitter 'unless you decide to look on the bright side will fall behind you.”

“You can be good for the mere sake of goodness; you cannot be bad for the mere sake of badness. You can do a kind action when you are not feeling kind and when it gives you no pleasure, simply because kindness is right; but no one ever did a cruel action simply because cruelty is wrong - only because cruelty is pleasant or useful to him, In other words, badness cannot succeed even in being bad in the same way in which goodness is good. Goodness is, so to speak, itself: badness is only spoiled goodness. And there must be something good first before it can be spoiled.”

“We cannot expect to be happy always ... by experiencing evil as well as good we become wise.”

“Since you make evil or good by your own thoughts, it is your ruling of your thoughts which proves to be your principal concern.”
