There is no charm equal to tenderness of heart.
From Jane Austen
Oh! do not attack me with your watch. A watch is always too fast or too slow. I cannot be dictated to by a watch.
It is happy for you that you possess the talent of flattering with delicacy. May I ask whether these pleasing attentions proceed from the impulse of the moment, or are they the result of previous study?
In nine cases out of ten, a woman had better show more affection than she feels.
To be fond of dancing was a certain step towards falling in love.
There are certainly not so many men of large fortune in the world, as there are pretty women to deserve them.
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.
Every savage can dance.
We have all a better guide in ourselves, if we would attend to it, than any other person can be.
The person, be it gentleman or lady, who has not pleasure in a good novel, must be intolerably stupid.
