Human nature is so well disposed towards those who are in interesting situations, that a young person, who either marries or dies, is sure of being kindly spoken of.
From Jane Austen
Happiness in marriage is entirely a matter of chance.
Business, you know, may bring you money, but friendship hardly ever does.
Let other pens dwell on guilt and misery.
Single women have a dreadful propensity for being poor. Which is one very strong argument in favor of matrimony.
Those who do not complain are never pitied.
I cannot speak well enough to be unintelligible.
I have been a selfish being all my life, in practice, though not in principle.
There are people, who the more you do for them, the less they will do for themselves.
What wild imaginations one forms where dear self is concerned! How sure to be mistaken!
