The reward of one duty is the power to fulfill another.
George Eliot

George Eliot

George Eliot
Image
Whether happiness may come or not, one should try and prepare one's self to do without it.
George Eliot
Image
Hear Everything and judge for yourself
George Eliot
Image
The bow always strung ... will not do.
George Eliot
Image
Things are achieved when they are well begun. The perfect archer calls the deer his own While yet the shaft is whistling.
George Eliot
Image
For pain must enter into its glorified life of memory before it can turn into compassion.
George Eliot
Image
You have such strong words at command, that they make the smallest argument seem formidable.
George Eliot
Image
Falsehood is easy, truth so difficult.
George Eliot
Image
I like not only to be loved, but to be told that I am loved the realm of silence is large enough beyond the grave.
George Eliot
