It is such a happiness when good people get together—and they always do. #MissBates

What is right to be done cannot be done too soon. #MrWeston #FrankChurchill #MrChurchill

Mr. Knightley, in fact, was one of the few people who could see faults in Emma Woodhouse, and the only one who ever told her of them....

There is safety in reserve, but no attraction. One cannot love a reserved person. #EmmaWoodhouse #FrankChurchill #MrChurchill

Surprises are foolish things. The pleasure is not enhanced, and the inconvenience is often considerable. #MrKnightley #EmmaWoodhouse

Jane Fairfax is a very charming young woman... She has a fault. She has not the open temper which a man would wish for in a wife. #Knightley

If things are going untowardly one month, they are sure to mend the next. #MrWeston

...and he who can do it, where there is no doubt of her regard, must, I think, be the happiest of mortals. #MrKnightley #Knightley #Emma

If I loved you less, I might be able to talk about it more. But you know what I am. — You hear nothing but truth from me. #MrKnightley #Emma

General benevolence, but not general friendship, made a man what he ought to be. #EmmaWoodhouse #MrWeston #JaneAusten

It darted through her with the speed of an arrow that Mr. Knightley must marry no one but herself! #Emma #EmmaWoodhouse #JaneAusten

It would have grieved me to lose your acquaintance, which must have been the consequence of your marrying Mr. Martin... #Emma #HarrietSmith

A single woman, with a very narrow income, must be a ridiculous, disagreeable old maid! the proper sport of boys and girls... #Emma #Harriet

...but a single woman, of good fortune, is always respectable, and may be as sensible and pleasant as any body else. #EmmaWoodhouse #Austen

It is never safe to sit out of doors, my dear. #MrWoodhouse #EmmaWoodhouse #Emma #Harriet #JaneAusten

I have no idea that she has yet ever seen a man she cared for–would not be a bad thing for her to be very much in love with a proper object.

I should like to see Emma in love, and in some doubt of a return; it would do her good. #MrKnightley #Emma #GeorgeKnightley

...no doubt that he will thrive and be a very rich man in time–his being illiterate and coarse need not disturb us. #Emma #Harriet #MrMartin

seldom can it happen that something is not a little disguised–little mistaken–conduct is mistaken–feelings are not–may not be very material.

Why was it so much worse that Harriet should be in love with Mr. Knightley than with Frank Churchill? #Emma #JaneAusten
