Some quotes by Jane Austen

1. One half of the world cannot understand the pleasures of the other. 
2. If I loved you less, I might be able to talk about it more.
   “It isn't what we say or think that defines us, but what we do.”
   ― Jane Austen, Sense and Sensibility .
3. One half of the world cannot understand the pleasures of the other
4. Why not seize pleasure at once? How often is happiness destroyed by preparation, foolish preparation!
5. A lady's imagination is very rapid; it jumps from admiration to love, from love to matrimony in a moment.  It is not time or opportunity that is to determine intimacy; it is disposition alone. Seven years would be insufficient to make some people acquainted with each other, and seven days are more than enough for others.
6.  Human nature is so well disposed towards those who are in interesting situations, that a young person, who either marries or dies, is sure to be kindly spoken of. 
7.   A large income is the best recipe for happiness I ever heard of
8.  History, real solemn history, I cannot be interested in.... I read it a little as a duty; but it tells me nothing that does not either vex or weary me. The quarrels of popes and kings, with wars and pestilences in every page; the men all so good for nothing, and hardly any women at all
9. .“Pictures of perfection, as you know, make me sick and wicked.” 
10. “There are persons who the more you do for them, the less they will do for themselves.”
