There's folks as make bad butter and trusten to the salt t' hide it.
George Eliot
... the fallibility of human brains is in nothing more obvious than in proof reading.
George Eliot
When death, the great reconciler, has come, it is never our tenderness that we repent of, but our severity.
George Eliot
It must be sad to outlive aught we love.
George Eliot
To the receptive soul the river of life pauseth not, nor is diminished.
George Eliot
Failure after long perseverance is much grander than never to have a striving good enough to be called a failure.
George Eliot
It is possible to have a strong self-love without any self-satisfaction, rather with a self-discontent which is the more intense because one's own little core of egoistic sensibility is a supreme care.
George Eliot
Surely, surely the only one true knowledge of our fellow man is that which enables us to feel with him--which gives us a fine ear for the heart-pulses that are beating under the mere clothes of circumstance and opinion.
George Eliot
I have a knack of hoping, which is as good as an estate.
George Eliot
Life's a vast sea That does its mighty errand without fail, Painting in unchanged strength though waves are changing.
George Eliot
To have suffered much is like knowing many languages. Thou hast learned to understand all.
George Eliot
A man deep-wounded may feel too much pain To feel much anger.
George Eliot
There is no sorrow I have thought more about than that-to love what is great, and try to reach it, and yet to fail.
George Eliot
Great feelings will often take the aspect of error, and great faith the aspect of illusion.
George Eliot
It is a common sentence that knowledge is power but who hath duly considered or set forth the power of ignorance? Knowledge slowly builds up what ignorance in an hour pulls down.
George Eliot
I think I am quite wicked with roses. I like to gather them, and smell them till they have no scent left.
George Eliot
Joy and sorrow are both my perpetual companions, but the joy is called Past and the sorrow Present.
George Eliot
As leopard feels at home with leopard.
George Eliot
If I have read religious history aright, faith, hope, and charity have not always been found in a direct ratio with a sensibility to the three concords and it is possible, thank heaven! to have very erroneous theories and very sublime feelings.
George Eliot
The worst of misery Is when a nature framed for noblest things Condemns itself in youth to petty joys, And, sore athirst for air, breathes scanty life Gasping from out the shallows.
George Eliot
