Quote by Jane Austen

...the pleasantness of an employment does not always evince

Summary

This quote emphasizes that just because an activity or job is enjoyable or rewarding, it does not automatically make it morally right or suitable. It suggests that one should not solely rely on how pleasing an occupation may seem to determine if it meets ethical or appropriate standards. This serves as a reminder that factors other than personal enjoyment, such as responsibilities, obligations, and moral considerations, also play a significant role in evaluating the suitability and validity of employment.

We catch on to the truth and technique of expectation in those rare moments when we are stirred by an awareness of a guidance seemingly higher and greater than our own, when for a little while we are taken over by a force and an intelligence above and beyond those commonly felt. Confident and free, filled with wonder and ready acceptance, we permit ourselves to be taken over by our unquestioning self.
