Jane Austen Quotes

Elinor, This Eldest Daughter, Whose Advice Was So Effectual, Possessed A Strength Of Understanding, And Coolness Of Judgment, Which Qualified Her, Though Only Nineteen, To Be The Counsellor Of Her Mother, And Enabled Her Frequently To Counteract, To The Advantage Of Them All, That Eagerness Of Mind In Mrs. Dashwood Which Must Generally Have Led To Imprudence. She Had An Excellent Heart; - Her Disposition Was Affectionate, And Her Feelings Were Strong; But She Knew How To Govern Them: It Was A Knowledge Which Her Mother Had Yet To Learn; And Which One Of Her Sisters Had Resolved Never To Be Taught.
