I Trust That Absolutes Have Gradations.

To Hope Was To Expect

I Have Had To Contend Against The Unkindness Of His Sister, And The Insolence Of His Mother; And Have Suffered The Punishment Of An Attachment, Without Enjoying Its Advantages.

Selfishness Must Always Be Forgiven You Know, Because There Is No Hope Of A Cure.

Beware How You Give Your Heart.

Cold-hearted Elinor! Oh! Worse Than Cold-hearted! Ashamed Of Being Otherwise.--marianne Dashwood
