Emma Woodhouse

My being charming is not quite enough to induce me to marry.

One half of the world cannot understand the pleasures of the other.

There is safety in reserve, but no attraction. One cannot love a reserved person.

There are people, who the more you do for them, the less they will do for themselves.

Where there is a wish to please, one ought to overlook, and one does overlook a great deal.

What is passable in youth is detestable in later age.
