"I would wish not to be hasty in censuring anyone; but I always speak what I think."
Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice, chapter 4.
The passage it comes from
The quotation is marked in the paragraph it sits in, with the prose either side of it for company.
"Oh, you are a great deal too apt, you know, to like people in general. You never see a fault in anybody. All the world are good and agreeable in your eyes. I never heard you speak ill of a human being in my life."
"I would wish not to be hasty in censuring anyone; but I always speak what I think."
"I know you do: and it is that which makes the wonder. With your good sense, to be so honestly blind to the follies and nonsense of others! Affectation of candour is common enough; one meets with it everywhere. But to be candid without ostentation or design, - to take the good of everybody's character and make it still better, and say nothing of the bad, - belongs to you alone. And so, you like this man's sisters, too, do you? Their manners are not equal to his."
Text from the Project Gutenberg edition, which is in the public domain in the United States.
