Quotation from: Sense and Sensibility

Written by: Jane Austen


"What are Mrs. Ferrars's views for you at present, Edward?"
said she, when dinner was over and they had drawn round
the fire; "are you still to be a great orator in spite of
yourself?"


"No. I hope my mother is now convinced that I have
no more talents than inclination for a public life!"


"But how is your fame to be established? for famous you
must be to satisfy all your family; and with no inclination
for expense, no affection for strangers, no profession,
and no assurance, you may find it a difficult matter."
