More quotes by Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice

"Vanity and pride are different things, though the words are often used synonymously. A person may be proud without being vain. Pride relates more to our opinion of ourselves, vanity to what we would have others think of us."
"Do not give way to useless alarm; though it is right to be prepared for the worst, there is no occasion to look on it as certain."
"Had I been in love, I could not have been more wretchedly blind. But vanity, not love, has been my folly."
"Yes, vanity is a weakness indeed. But pride - where there is a real superiority of mind, pride will be always under good regulation."
"There is, I believe, in every disposition a tendency to some particular evil, a natural defect, which not even the best education can overcome.""And your defect is a propensity to hate everybody.""And yours,"he replied with a smile, "is wilfully to misunderstand them."
