A second chance

Right now I'm reading "Persuasion" by Jane Austen. Its a really good book ( of course it is! All Austen's books are amazing! ).

Its about having a second chance at love. The story tells of Anne Elliot who was persuaded by a friend to break off her engagement to ambitious, naval officer Frederick Wentworth - a man whom she loved passionately - because he was poor. After eight years, he returns to her life as a successful captain but is still smarting from the rejection and heartbreak....
I won't tell you the rest of the story.

"There, he had learnt to distinguish between the steadiness of principle and the obstinacy of self-will, between the darings of heedlessness and the resolution of a collected mind. There he had seen everything to exalt in his estimation the woman he had lost; and there begun to deplore the pride, the folly, the madness of resentment, which had kept him from trying to regain her when thrown in his way..."

What I've learnt from this book:

LOVE IS PATIENT.
