"If I could not be persuaded into..." - Quote by Jane Austen

“Life could do nothing for her, beyond giving time for a better preparation for death.”

“a vast deal may be done by those who dare to act.”

“One man's ways may be as good as another's, but we all like our own best.”

“The difficulty, my friends, is not in avoiding death, but in avoiding unrighteousness; for that runs faster than death.”

“The true gentleman does not preach what he practices till he has practiced what he preaches.”

“As my object was not myself, I set out with the determination, and happily with the disposition, of not being moved by praise or censure, friendship or calumny, nor of being drawn from my purpose by any personal altercation; and the man who cannot do this, is not fit for a public character.”

“Force is the law of animals, men are ruled by conviction.”

“His universal compassion was due less to natural instinct, than to a profound conviction, a sum of thoughts that in the course of living had filtered through to his heart: for in the nature of man, as in rock, there may be channels hollowed by the dropping of water, and these can never be destroyed.”

“I am sorry for those that disagree with me because I know that they are wrong.”
