Happiness in marriage is entirely a matter of chance. 

Ashlyn Barrett

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 are very few of us who have heart enough to be really in love without encouragement.  

A lady’s imagination is very rapid; it jumps from admiration to love, from love to matrimony, in a moment. 

The more I see of the world, the more am I dissatisfied with it; and every day confirms my belief of the inconsistency of all human characters, and of the little dependence that can be placed on the appearance of merit or sense.
