"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."

"Have you any other objection than your belief of my indifference?"- Elizabeth Bennet"

"There is no charm equal to tenderness of heart."

"General benevolence, but not general friendship, made a man what he ought to be."
