From Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice comes this little gem of dialogue occurring between sisters Jane and Elizabeth Bennet the evening of Jane's engagement to Mr. Bingley:
"I am certainly the most fortunate creature that ever existed!" cried Jane. "Oh! Lizzy, why am I thus singled out from my family, and blessed above them all! If I could but see you as happy! If there were but such another man for you!"
"If you were to give me forty such men, I never could be so happy as you. Till I have your disposition, your goodness, I never can have your happiness."
