“It is not time or opportunity that is to determine intimacy; it is disposition alone.”

I hate to hear you talk about all women as if they were fine ladies instead of rational creatures.

There could have been no two hearts so open, no tastes so similar, no feelings so in unison, no countenances so beloved.

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.

There is nothing like staying at home for real comfort.

I must learn to be content with being happier than I deserve.

There is no charm equal to tenderness of heart.

If I loved you less, I might be able to talk about it more.

One cannot be always laughing at a man without now and then stumbling on something witty.
