More quotes by George Eliot
No soul is desolate as long as there is a human being for whom it can feel trust and reverence.
George Eliot
Adventure is not outside man it is within.
George Eliot
I couldn't live in peace if I put the shadow of a willful sin between myself and God.
George Eliot
The wrong that rouses our angry passions finds only a medium in us it passes through us like a vibration, and we inflict what we have suffered.
George Eliot
Wit is a form of force that leaves the limbs at rest.
George Eliot
Breed is stronger than pasture.
George Eliot
But certain winds will make men's temper bad.
George Eliot
Play not with paradoxes. That caustic which you handle in order to scorch others may happen to sear your own fingers and make them dead to the quality of things.
George Eliot
She was no longer wrestling with the grief, but could sit down with it as a lasting companion and make it a sharer in her thoughts.
George Eliot
Genius at first is little more than a great capacity for receiving discipline.
George Eliot
There are men whose presence infuses trust and reverence.
George Eliot
May every soul that touches mine - be it the slightest contact - get there from some good some little grace one kindly thought one aspiration yet unfelt one bit of courage for the darkening sky one gleam of faith to brave the thickening ills of life one glimpse of brighter skies beyond the gathering mists - to make this life worthwhile.
George Eliot
Nature repairs her ravages, but not all. The uptorn trees are not rooted again the parted hills are left scarred if there is a new growth, the trees are not the same as the old, and the hills underneath their green vesture bear the marks of the past rending. To the eyes that have dwelt on the past, there is no thorough repair.
George Eliot
After all, the true seeing is within.
George Eliot
Hold up your head! You were not made for failure, you were made for victory. Go forward with a joyful confidence.
George Eliot
The purifying influence of public confession springs from the fact, that by it the hope in lies is forever swept away, and the soul recovers the noble attitude of simplicity.
George Eliot
One way of getting an idea of our fellow-countrymen's miseries is to go and look at their pleasures.
George Eliot
This is a puzzling world, and Old Harry's got a finger in it.
George Eliot
The important work of moving the world forward does not wait to be done by perfect men.
George Eliot
One has to spend many years in learning how to be happy.
George Eliot
