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

  • A lady's imagination is very rapid it jumps from admiration to love, from love to matrimony in a moment.

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

  • Happiness in marriage is entirely a matter of chance.

  • It is always incomprehensible to a man that a woman should ever refuse an offer of marriage.
