Jane Austen
  • Business, you know, may bring you money, but friendship hardly ever does.

  • Give a girl an education and introduce her properly into the world, and ten to one but she has the means of settling well, without further expense to anybody.

  • Men have had every advantage of us in telling their own story. Education has been theirs in so much higher a degree the pen has been in their hands. I will not allow books to prove anything.

  • Selfishness must always be forgiven you know, because there is no hope of a cure.

  • Friendship is certainly the finest balm for the pangs of disappointed love.
