Jane Austen’s wisdom regarding relationship, love
and happiness
Ten quotes from Sense and Sensibility
“I wish, as well as everybody else, to be
perfectly happy; but, like everybody else, it must be
in my own way.”
“Know your own happiness. You want nothing but
patience - or give it a more fascinating name, call it
hope.”
“If I could but know his heart, everything would become
easy.”
“The more I know of the world, the more I am convinced that I shall never see a man whom I
can really love. I require so much!”
“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.”
“I have not wanted syllables where actions have spoken so
plainly.”
“I could not be happy with a man whose taste did not in
every point coincide with my own. He must enter in all my feelings; the same books, the same music must charm us
both.”
“Sometimes one is guided by what they say of themselves, and very frequently by what other people say of them, without giving oneself time to deliberate and judge.”
“There is nothing lost, but may be found, if sought.”
- Col. Brandon reads from The Faerie Queen by Edmund Spenser -
“Money can only give happiness where there is nothing else to give it.”
