Jane Austen Quotes

Pride," Observed Mary, Who Piqued Herself Upon The Solidity Of Her Reflections, "is A Very Common Failing, I Believe. By All That I Have Ever Read, I Am Convinced That It It Very Common Indeed; That Human Nature Is Particularly Prone To It, And That There Are Very Few Of Us Who Do Not Cherish A Feeling Of Self-complacency On The Score Of Some Quality Or The Other, Real Or Imaginary. 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 Other Think Of Us.
