Jane Austen

“There is no charm equal to tenderness of heart. There is nothing to be compared to it. Warmth and tenderness of heart, with an affectionate, open manner, will beat all the clearness in the world, for attraction: I am sure it will. It is tenderness of heart that makes my dear father so generally beloved—which gives Isabella all her popularity. I have it not; but I know how to prize it and respect it.”

Jane Austen, Emma
