It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.
...why did we wait for any thing? — why not seize the pleasure at once? — How often is happiness destroyed by preparation, foolish preparation!
A lady's imagination is very rapid; it jumps from admiration to love, from love to matrimony, in a moment.
Home is where the heart is.
Every day is a journey, and the journey itself is home.
To be happy at home is the ultimate result of all ambition, the end to which every enterprise and labour tends, and of which every desire prompts the prosecution.
