More quotes by George Eliot
Do we not all agree to call rapid thought and noble impulse by the name of inspiration? After our subtlest analysis of the mental process, we must still say that our highest thoughts and our best deeds are all given to us.
George Eliot
There's folks 'ud stand on their heads and then say the fault was i' their boots.
George Eliot
Hobbies are apt to run away with us, you know it doesn't do to be run away with. We must keep the reins.
George Eliot
The Jews are among the aristocracy of every land if a literature is called rich in the possession of a few classic tragedies, what shall we say to a national tragedy lasting for fifteen hundred years, in which the poets and the actors were also the heroes.
George Eliot
Things are achieved when they are well begun. The perfect archer calls the deer his own While yet the shaft is whistling.
George Eliot
Worldly faces never look so worldly as at a funeral. They have the same effect of grating incongruity as the sound of a coarse voice breaking the solemn silence of night.
George Eliot
As leopard feels at home with leopard.
George Eliot
Trouble comes to us all in this life: we set our hearts on things which it isn't God's will for us to have, and then we go sorrowing.
George Eliot
There are answers which, in turning away wrath, only send it to the other end of the room.
George Eliot
No anguish I have had to bear on your account has been too heavy a price to pay for the new life into which I have entered in loving you.
George Eliot
The early months of marriage often are times of critical tumult,--whether that of a shrimp pool or of deeper water,--which afterwards subside into cheerful peace.
George Eliot
A proud heart and a lofty mountain are never fruitful.
George Eliot
Say I love you to those you love. The eternal silence is long enough to be silent in, and that awaits us all.
George Eliot
Nothing is so good as it seems beforehand.
George Eliot
In the vain laughter of folly wisdom hears half its applause.
George Eliot
Selfish— a judgment readily passed by those who have never tested their own power of sacrifice.
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
Joy and sorrow are both my perpetual companions, but the joy is called Past and the sorrow Present.
George Eliot
Adventure is not outside man it is within.
George Eliot
Surely it is not true blessedness to be free of sorrow while there is sorrow and sin in the world. Sorrow is a part of love and love does not seek to throw it off.
George Eliot
