More quotes by George Eliot
It is always chilling, in friendly intercourse, to say you have no opinion to give.
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
They say fortune is a woman and capricious. But sometimes she is a good woman, and gives to those who merit.
George Eliot
Falsehood is easy, truth so difficult.
George Eliot
The prevarication and white lies which a mind that keeps itself ambitiously pure is as uneasy under as a great artist under the false touches that no eye detects but his own, are worn as lightly as mere trimmings when once the actions have become a lie.
George Eliot
My childhood was full of deep sorrows - colic, whooping-cough, dread of ghosts, hell, Satan, and a Deity in the sky who was angry when I ate too much plumcake.
George Eliot
Great feelings will often take the aspect of error, and great faith the aspect of illusion.
George Eliot
The commonest man, who has his ounce of sense and feeling, is conscious of the difference between a lovely, delicate woman and a coarse one. Even a dog feels a difference in her presence.
George Eliot
Sympathetic people often don't communicate well, they back reflected images which hide their own depths.
George Eliot
A patronizing disposition always has its meaner side.
George Eliot
In every parting there is an image of death.
George Eliot
A man never lies with more delicious languor under the influence of a passion than when he has persuaded himself that he shall subdue it to-morrow.
George Eliot
Death is the king of this world: 'Tis his park where he breeds life to feed him. Cries of pain are music for his banquet.
George Eliot
I've had my say out, and I shall be the' easier for't all my life. There's no pleasure i' living, if you're to be corked up forever, and only dribble your mind out by the sly, like a leaky barrel.
George Eliot
I think cheerfulness is a fortune in itself.
George Eliot
The intense happiness of our union is derived in a high degree from the perfect freedom with which we each follow and declare our own impressions.
George Eliot
The years between fifty and seventy are the hardest. You are always being asked to do things, and yet you are not decrepit enough to turn them down.
George Eliot
A foreman, if he's got a conscience, and delights in his work, will do his business as well as if he was a partner. I wouldn't give a penny for a man as 'ud drive a nail in slack because he didn't get extra pay for it.
George Eliot
It's a father's duty to give his sons a fine chance.
George Eliot
Pity that consequences are determined not by excuses but by actions!
George Eliot
