More quotes by George Eliot
A difference of taste in jokes is a great strain on the affections.
George Eliot
O the anguish of that thought that we can never atone to our dead for the stinted affection we gave them, for the light answers we returned to their plaints or their pleadings, for the little reverence we showed to that sacred human soul that lived so close to us, and was the divinest thing God had given us to know!
George Eliot
And, of course men know best about everything, except what women know better.
George Eliot
Life is very difficult. It seems right to me sometimes that we should follow our strongest feelings but then such feelings continually come across the ties that all our former life has made for us,--the ties that have made others dependent on us,--and would cut them in two.
George Eliot
Satan was a blunderer ... who made a stupendous failure. If he had succeeded, we should all have been worshipping him, and his portrait would have been more flattering.
George Eliot
Any coward can fight a battle when he's sure of winning but give me the man who has the pluck to fight when he's sure of losing.
George Eliot
Hear Everything and judge for yourself
George Eliot
I'd sooner have one real grief on my mind than twenty false. It's better to know one's robbed than to think one's going to be murdered.
George Eliot
I couldn't live in peace if I put the shadow of a willful sin between myself and God.
George Eliot
When we are suddenly released from an acute absorbing bodily pain, our heart and senses leap out in new freedom we think even the noise of streets harmonious, and are ready to hug the tradesman who is wrapping up our change.
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
Better a false belief than no belief at all.
George Eliot
I like to read about Moses best, in th' Old Testament. He carried a hard business well through, and died when other folks were going to reap the fruits a man must have courage to look after his life so, and think what'll come f it after he's dead and gone.
George Eliot
Brothers are so unpleasant.
George Eliot
We must not sit still and look for miracles up and doing, and the Lord will be with thee. Prayer and pains, through faith in Christ Jesus, will do anything.
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
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
... when one's outward lot is perfect, the sense of inward imperfection is the more pressing.
George Eliot
I shall do everything it becomes me to do.
George Eliot
In the love of a brave and faithful man there is always a strain of maternal tenderness he gives out again those beams of protecting fondness which were shed on him as he lay on his mother's knee.
George Eliot
