"Where a man does his best with..." - Quote by Jane Austen

“She was not often invited to join in the conversation of the others, nor did she desire it. Her own thoughts and reflections were habitually her best companions.”

“I would rather have young people settle on a small income at once, and have to struggle with a few difficulties together, than be involved in a long engagement.”

“You must learn some of my philosophy. Think only of the past as its remembrance gives you pleasure.”

“Work while others are wishing.”

“The only thing that can grow is the thing you give energy to.”

“When people cared about each other, they always found a way to make it work.”

“Battles are won in the trenches, in the grit and grime of courageous determination; they are won day by day in the arena of life.”

“The courageous man is the man who forces himself, in spite of his fear, to carry on.”

“The difficulties you meet will resolve themselves as you advance. Proceed, and light will dawn, and shine with increasing clearness on your path.”
