More quotes by George Eliot
It's a father's duty to give his sons a fine chance.
George Eliot
A patronizing disposition always has its meaner side.
George Eliot
A proud heart and a lofty mountain are never fruitful.
George Eliot
Starting a long way off the true point, and proceeding by loops and zigzags , we now and then arrive just where we ought to be.
George Eliot
When we are young we think our troubles a mighty business - that the world is spread out expressly as a stage for the particular drama of our lives and that we have a right to rant and foam at the mouth if we are crossed. I have done enough of that in my time.
George Eliot
I think I should have no other mortal wants, if I could always have plenty of music.
George Eliot
Music sweeps by me as a messenger - Carrying a message that is not for me
George Eliot
Those who trust us educate us.
George Eliot
May I reach That purest heaven - be to other souls The cup of strength in some great agony Enkindle generous ardor, feed pure love, Beget the smiles that have no cruelty. Be the sweet presence of a good diffused, And in the diffusion ever more intense! So shall I join the choir invisible Whose music is the gladness of the world.
George Eliot
Pity that consequences are determined not by excuses but by actions!
George Eliot

George Eliot
It is strange how deeply colours seem to penetrate one, like scent.
George Eliot
Man may content himself with the applause of the world and the homage paid to his intellect, but woman's heart has holier idols.
George Eliot
Oh may I join the choir invisible Of those immortal dead who live again In minds made better by their presence.
George Eliot
I desire no future that will break the ties of the past.
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
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
Wine and the sun will make vinegar without any shouting to help them.
George Eliot
I'll tell you what's the greatest power under heaven, and that is public opinion-the ruling belief in society about what is right and what is wrong, what is honourable and what is shameful. That's the steam that is to work the engines.
George Eliot
Genius at first is little more than a great capacity for receiving discipline.
George Eliot
