Back To A More Leisurely Time.

The magical era of Jane Austen. ( 1775-1817 )


" It is a truth universally acknowledged, 
that a single man in possession of a good fortune, 
must be in want of a wife. " 
         
" Life seems but a quick succession of busy nothings. "

" A lady's imagination is very rapid; it jumps from admiration to love,
 from love to matrimony in a moment. "

" Selfishness must always be forgive you know, 
because there is no hope of a cure. "

" A woman, especially if she has the misfortune of knowing anything,
 should conceal it as well as she can. "
 
" How quick come the reasons for approving what we like! "

" It is very difficult for the prosperous to be humble. "

" If things are going untowardly in one month, 
they are sure to mend the next. "

" It will, I believe, be everywhere found, that as the clergy are, 
or are not what they ought to be, so are the rest of the nation. "

" Where an opinion is general, it is usually correct. "

" To sit in the shade on a fine day 
and look upon verdure is the most perfect refreshment. "
