Quotes from Emma by Jane Austen:

• Silly things do cease to be silly if they are done by sensible people in an impudent way.
• I always deserve the best treatment because I never put up with any other.
• Seldom, very seldom, does complete truth belong to any human disclosure; seldom can it happen that something is not a little disguised or a little mistaken.
• There are people, who the more you do for them, the less they will do for themselves.
• One half of the world cannot understand the pleasures of the other.
• You must be the best judge of your own happiness.
• Without music, life would be a blank to me.
• Better be without sense than misapply it as you do.
• Surprises are foolish things. The pleasure is not enhanced, and the inconvenience is often considerable.
