Charlotte Bronte Quotes

For those who are not hungry, it is easy to palaver about the degradation of charity Picture Quote #1

On the contrary, I’m a universal patriot, if you could understand me rightly: my country is the world Picture Quote #1

There is nothing I fear so much as idleness, the want of occupation, inactivity, the lethargy of the faculties; when the body is idle, the spirit suffers painfully Picture Quote #1

It is hard work to control the workings of inclination and turn the bent of nature; but that it may be done, I know from experience. God has given us, in a measure, the power to make our own fate Picture Quote #1

Cheerfulness, it would appear, is a matter which depends fully as much on the state of things within, as on the state of things without and around us Picture Quote #1

I am no bird; and no net ensnares me; I am a free human being with an independent will Picture Quote #1

I don’t call you handsome, sir, though I love you most dearly: far too dearly to flatter you. Don’t flatter me Picture Quote #1

If all the world hated you, and believed you wicked, while your own conscience approved you, and absolved you from guilt, you would not be without friends Picture Quote #1

If you are cast in a different mould to the majority, it is no merit of yours: Nature did it Picture Quote #1

It is in vain to say human beings ought to be satisfied with tranquility: they must have action; and they will make it if they cannot find it Picture Quote #1

The human and fallible should not arrogate a power with which the divine and perfect alone can be safely intrusted Picture Quote #1

I believe in some blending of hope and sunshine sweetening the worst lots. I believe that this life is not all; neither the beginning nor the end. I believe while I tremble; I trust while I weep Picture Quote #1

Fortune is proverbially called changeful, yet her caprice often takes the form of repeating again and again a similar stroke of luck in the same quarter Picture Quote #1

I am not deceitful: if I were, I should say I loved you; but I declare I do not love you: I dislike you the worst of anybody in the world Picture Quote #1

Men, in general, are a sort of scum, very different to anything of which you have an idea Picture Quote #1

They will both be happy, and I do not grudge them their bliss; but I groan under my own misery: some of my suffering is very acute. Truly, I ought not to have been born: they should have smothered me at first cry Picture Quote #1

If you don’t love another living soul, then you’ll never be disappointed Picture Quote #1

Laws and principles are not for the times when there is no temptation: they are for such moments as this, when body and soul rise in mutiny against their rigour... If at my convenience I might break them, what would be their worth? Picture Quote #1

It is far better to endure patiently a smart which nobody feels but yourself, than to commit a hasty action whose evil consequences will extend to all connected with you Picture Quote #1

There is, I am convinced, no picture that conveys in all its dreadfulness, a vision of sorrow, despairing, remediless, supreme. If I could paint such a picture, the canvas would show only a woman looking down at her empty arms Picture Quote #1

Yet it would be your duty to bear it, if you could not avoid it: it is weak and silly to say you cannot bear what it is your fate to be required to bear Picture Quote #1

A beauty neither of fine colour nor long eyelash, nor pencilled brow, but of meaning, of movement, of radiance Picture Quote #1

I had a theoretical reverence and homage for beauty, elegance, gallantry, fascination but had I met those qualities incarnate in masculine shape, I should have known instinctively that they had nor could have sympathy with anything in me Picture Quote #1

I could not help it: the restlessness was in my nature; it agitated me to pain sometimes Picture Quote #1

Fair as a lily, and not only the pride of life, but the desire of his eyes Picture Quote #1

Better to try all things and find all empty, than to try nothing and leave your life a blank Picture Quote #1

Life is still life, whatever its pangs; our eyes and ears and their use remain with us, though the prospect of what pleases be wholly withdrawn, and the sound of what consoles must be silenced Picture Quote #1

Children can feel, but they cannot analyse their feelings; and if the analysis is partially effected in thought, they know not how to express the result of the process in words Picture Quote #1

Your station is in my heart, and on the necks of those who would insult you Picture Quote #1

Good fortune opens the hand as well as the heart wonderfully; and to give somewhat when we have largely received, but to afford a vent to the unusual ebullition of the sensations Picture Quote #1
