Affectation of candour is common enough— one meets with it everywhere. But to be candid without ostentation or design— to take the good of everybody's character and make it still better, and say nothing of the bad— belongs to you alone.
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.
To yield without conviction is no compliment to the understanding of either.
I have made no such pretension. I have faults enough, but they are not, I hope, of understanding. My temper I dare not vouch for. It is, I believe, too little yielding— certainly too little for the convenience of the world.
Do clear them too, or we shall be obliged to think ill of somebody.
Laugh as much as you choose, but you will not laugh me out of my opinion.
It is particularly incumbent on those who never change their opinion, to be secure of judging properly at first.
I do assure you that I am not one of those young ladies (if such young ladies there are) who are so daring as to risk their happiness on the chance of being asked a second time.
You must give me leave to judge for myself, and pay me the compliment of believing what I say.
You shall not, for the sake of one individual, change the meaning of principle and integrity, nor endeavour to persuade yourself or me, that selfishness is prudence, and insensibility of danger security for happiness.
I'm in love with that book.

I like Emma and Mansfield Park better than Pride and Prejudice, though.
