George Eliot

George Eliot
We are overhasty to speak as if God did not manifest himself by our silent feeling, and make his love felt through ours.
George Eliot
To have in general but little feeling, seems to be the only security against feeling too much on any particular occasion.
George Eliot
When a workman knows the use of his tools, he can make a door as well as a window.
George Eliot
Don't you meddle with me, and I won't meddle with you.
George Eliot
The vainest woman is never thoroughly conscious of her beauty till she is loved by the man who sets her own passion vibrating in return.
George Eliot
It is better sometimes not to follow great reformers of abuses beyond the threshold of their homes.
George Eliot
I like not only to be loved, but to be told that I am loved the realm of silence is large enough beyond the grave.
George Eliot
