"Those who have not more must be..." - Quote by Jane Austen

“Were I to fall in love, indeed, it would be a different thing! but I never have been in love; it is not my way, or my nature; and I do not think I ever shall.”

“An interval of meditation, serious and grateful, was the best corrective of everything dangerous.”

“Where so many hours have been spent in convincing myself that I am right, is there not some reason to fear I may be wrong?”

“The True Person governs by emptying the heart of desire and filling the belly with food, weakening ambitions and strengthening bones.”

“Who is rich? He that rejoices in his portion.”

“What I know for sure: Having the best things is no substitute for having the best life. When you can let go of the desire to acquire, you know you are really on your way.”

“There are few things in this world more satisfying than having your son teach you how to play tennis, unless it is having a semi-truck run over your foot.”

“As long as I have a want, I have a reason for living. Satisfaction is death.”

“There is no satisfaction in hanging a man who does not object to it.”
