Quote

We have all a better guide in ourselves, if we would attend to it, than any other person can be.

Jane AustenMansfield Park (1814)

Note

Austen reminds us that each person carries an inner compass—a quiet sense of what feels right—that can guide decisions more truly than external advice. It does not dismiss the value of counsel, but gently highlights the importance of listening to one's own heart and judgment.
