Austen Family

Famous quotes containing the words austen and/or family:

    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.
    —Jane Austen (1775–1817)

    A family on the throne is an interesting idea.... It brings down the pride of sovereignty to the level of petty life.
    Walter Bagehot (1826–1877)
