More quotes by George Eliot
To be candid, in Middlemarch phraseology, meant, to use an early opportunity of letting your friends know that you did not take a cheerful view of their capacity, their conduct, or their position and a robust candor never waited to be asked for its opinion.
George Eliot
Well, I aren't like a bird-clapper, forced to make a rattle when the wind blows on me. I can keep my own counsel when there's no good i' speaking.
George Eliot
When you get me a good man made out of arguments, I will get you a good dinner with reading you the cookery book.
George Eliot
One couldn't carry on life comfortably without a little blindness to the fact that everything has been said better than we can put it ourselves.
George Eliot
Of a truth, Knowledge is power, but it is a power reined by scruple, having a conscience of what must be and what may be whereas Ignorance is a blind giant who, let him but wax unbound, would make it a sport to seize the pillars that hold up the long-wrought fabric of human good, and turn all the places of joy as dark as a buried Babylon.
George Eliot
Folks as have no mind to be o' use have allays the luck to be out o' the road when there's anything to be done.
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
Pity that consequences are determined not by excuses but by actions!
George Eliot
The worst service, I fancy, that anyone can do for truth, is to set silly people writing on its behalf.
George Eliot
The strongest principle of growth lies in the human choice.
George Eliot
History repeats itself.
George Eliot
Heaven help us, said the old religion the new one, from its very lack of that faith, will teach us all the more to help one another.
George Eliot
One of the tortures of jealousy is, that it can never turn away its eyes from the thing that pains it.
George Eliot
In the vain laughter of folly wisdom hears half its applause.
George Eliot
Your trouble's easy borne when everybody gives it a lift for you.
George Eliot
It is difficult for woman to try to be anything good when she is not believed in.
George Eliot
The mother's love is at first an absorbing delight, blunting all other sensibilities it is an expansion of the animal existence.
George Eliot
Any coward can fight a battle when he's sure of winning.
George Eliot
There is no hour that has not its births of gladness and despair, no morning brightness that does not bring new sickness to desolation as well as new forces to genius and love. There are so many of us, and our lots are so different, what wonder that Nature's mood is often in harsh contrast with the great crisis of our lives?
George Eliot
In so complex a thing as human nature, we must consider it is hard to find rules without exception.
George Eliot
