    Awesome Jane Austen Quotes Still Relevant Today

    May 26, 2016 · 11 Comments

    WOW! 92 links last week at our Friday Frivolity Party - you guys are rockstars! For our weekly host theme of favorite quotes this week, I decided to pick some quotes from one of my favorite authors, Jane Austen.

    Quotes by Jane Austen that are as relevant today as they were 200 years ago.

     

    There are plenty of great quips to choose from, but I decided to narrow it down to those that are still relevant today. Unlike the opening line of Pride and Prejudice which is arguably her most famous quote,

    It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.

     

    Though I suppose the producers and fans of The Bachelor still buy into that arcane concept that a woman needs to marry for money and prestige...

     

    Enough feminism for one day, on to the 200 year old insights that are good life lessons today.

    Sadly, we all know at least one person like this, don't we?

     

    Awesome Austen Quotes: Quotes by Jane Austen that are as relevant today as they were 200 years ago.
    To thine own self be true, let your heart be your guide, listen to your conscience... all pretty much mean the same thing.

     

    Awesome Austen Quotes: Quotes by Jane Austen that are as relevant today as they were 200 years ago.
    Wouldn't it be wonderful if some of our politicians and business executives would do the right thing as soon as there is a problem instead of trying to cover it up first and acting only when pressured to do so?

     

    Awesome Austen Quotes: Quotes by Jane Austen that are as relevant today as they were 200 years ago.
    "My diet" is perfect and everyone should adopt it or you are poisoning your body and here are 20 studies to prove I am right and any study that says it isn't perfect is WRONG! (substitute politician, supplement, tv show, etc. and the story is pretty much the same).

    Guilty! I am always so busy, but how many of those things on my list are actually nothing?

     

    Awesome Austen Quotes: Quotes by Jane Austen that are as relevant today as they were 200 years ago.
    Great reminder for me. I shouldn't complain anyway, because I have a great life. I shudder at the thought of anyone "pitying" me.

        I love the shot glass pan, I'm just not sure if I'd use it enough to justify buying it.

      I love Jane Austen (just watched Jane Eyre last weekend!) and these quotes are all so true - I tend to agree with you about the last one especially after listening to a friend who complains about the same stuff over and over and over....... Pity is not pretty and wears thin after awhile!
