FAMOUS QUOTES ABOUT FRIENDSHIP AND EQUALITY FROM JANE AUSTEN

Nobody can tell what I suffer!

One half of the world cannot understand the pleasures of the other.

What are men to rocks and mountains?

I cannot forget the follies and vices of other so soon as I ought, nor their offenses against myself. My feelings are not puffed about with every attempt to move them. My temper would perhaps be called resentful. My good opinion once lost, is lost forever.

I could easily forgive his pride, if he had not mortified mine.

Vanity and pride are different things, though the words are often used synonymously. A person may be proud without being vain. Pride relates more to our opinion of ourselves, vanity to what we would have others think of us.

There is a stubbornness about me that never can bear to be frightened at the will of others. My courage always rises at every attempt to intimidate me.

You must be the best judge of your own happiness.

He is a gentleman, and I am a gentleman's daughter. So far we are equal.
