"To be sure you know no actual..." - Quote by Jane Austen

“How quick come the reasons for approving what we like!”

“Everybody likes to go their own way–to choose their own time and manner of devotion.”

“Where a man does his best with only moderate powers, he will have the advantage over negligent superiority.”

“Love is the master-key that opens the gates of happiness, of hatred, of jealousy, and, most easily of all, the gate of fear.”

“My most brilliant achievement was my ability to be able to persuade my wife to marry me.”

“A country of a thousand war-chariots cannot be administered unless the ruler attends strictly to business, punctually observes his promises, is economical in expenditure, loves the people, and uses the labor of the peasantry only at the proper times of year.”

“Remember to let her into your heart.”

“Any form of measuring yourself by the unkind action of another towards you is like looking into a badly fractured mirror... and then blaming yourself for the shattered image you see therein.”

“Be helpful. When you see a person without a smile, give him one of yours. ~”
