If adventures will not befall a young lady in her own village, she must seek them abroad.
Jane AustenI am come, young ladies, in a very moralizing strain, to observe that our pleasures of this world are always to be for, and that we often purchase them at a great disadvantage, giving readi-monied actual happiness for a draft on the future, that may not be honoured.
Jane AustenKnow your own happiness. You want nothing but patience- or give it a more fascinating name, call it hope.
