From Jane

What does this quote from Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice mean?

"I have no wish of denying that I did everything in my power to separate my friend from your sister, or that I rejoice in my success. Towards him I have been kinder than towards myself."

That he really tried and is proud that he managed to separate his friend and her sister for the benefit of the first. He has done Bingley the service to save him from what he saw as an unsuitable marriage, something that he hasn't been able to do for himself too. Darcy's marriage to Elizabeth would be equally unsuitable, due to the social class and her family conduct. Thus he has been kinder and more thoughtful/prudent for his friend's future and prosperity, than he was for his own.
