More quotes by George Eliot
Life's a vast sea That does its mighty errand without fail, Painting in unchanged strength though waves are changing.
George Eliot
The only failure one should fear, is not hugging to the purpose they see as best.
George Eliot
But is it what we love, or how we love, That makes true good?
George Eliot
Enveloped in a common mist, we seem to walk in clearness ourselves, and behold only the mist that enshrouds others.
George Eliot
Let my body dwell in poverty, and my hands be as the hands of the toiler but let my soul be as a temple of remembrance where the treasures of knowledge enter and the inner sanctuary is hope.
George Eliot
It is a wonderful subduer-this need of love, this hunger of the heart.
George Eliot
Falsehood is easy, truth so difficult.
George Eliot
Some folks' tongues are like the clocks as run on strikin', not to tell you the time o' the day, but because there's summat wrong i' their own inside.
George Eliot
Awful Night! Ancestral mystery of mysteries.
George Eliot

George Eliot
It was one of those dangerous moments when speech is at once sincere and deceptive - when feeling, rising high above its average depth, leaves flood-marks which are never reached again.
George Eliot
Everybody liked better to conjecture how the thing was, than simply to know it for conjecture soon became more confident than knowledge, and had a more liberal allowance for the incompatible.
George Eliot
One has to spend many years in learning how to be happy.
George Eliot
Is it not rather what we expect in men, that they should have numerous strands of experience lying side by side and never compare them with each other?
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
It is good to be helpful and kindly, but don't give yourself to be melted into candle grease for the benefit of the tallow trade.
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
I can't bear fishing. I think people look like fools sitting watching a line hour after hour-or else throwing and throwing, and catching nothing.
George Eliot
May every soul that touches mine - be it the slightest contact - get there from some good some little grace one kindly thought one aspiration yet unfelt one bit of courage for the darkening sky one gleam of faith to brave the thickening ills of life one glimpse of brighter skies beyond the gathering mists - to make this life worthwhile.
George Eliot
Our life is determined for us--and it makes the mind very free when we give up wishing, and only think of bearing what is laid upon us, and doing what is given us to do.
George Eliot
