More quotes by Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice

"Every impulse of feeling should be guided by reason; and, in my opinion, exertion should always be in proportion to what is required."
"I am the happiest creature in the world. Perhaps other people have said so before, but not one with such justice. I am happier even than Jane; she only smiles, I laugh."
"We must not be so ready to fancy ourselves intentionally injured. We must not expect a lively young man to be always so guarded and circumspect. It is very often nothing but our own vanity that deceives us. Women fancy admiration means more than it does."
"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."
"There are few people whom I really love, and still fewer of whom I think well. The more I see of the world, the more am I dissatisfied with it; and every day confirms my belief of the inconsistency of all human characters, and of the little dependence that can be placed on the appearance of merit or sense."
