More quotes by George Eliot
What makes life dreary is the want of a motive.
George Eliot
The world is full of hopeful analogies and handsome, dubious eggs, called possibilities.
George Eliot
Life was never anything but a perpetual see-saw between gravity and jest.
George Eliot
In bed our yesterdays are too oppressive: if a man can only get up, though it be but to whistle or to smoke, he has a present which offers some resistance to the past—sensations which assert themselves against tyrannous memories.
George Eliot
How will you find good? It is not a thing of choice it is a river that flows from the foot of the Invisible Throne and flows by the path of obedience.
George Eliot
It is a vain thought to flee from the work that God appoints us, for the sake of finding a greater blessing, instead of seeking it where alone it is to be found - in loving obedience.
George Eliot
We hand folks over to God's mercy, and show none ourselves.
George Eliot
Knowledge slowly builds up what Ignorance in an hour pulls down.
George Eliot
There is no short-cut no patent tram-road, to wisdom. After all the centuries of invention, the soul's path lies through the thorny wilderness which must still be trodden in solitude, with bleeding feet, with sobs for help, as it was trodden by them of old time.
George Eliot
We look at the one little woman's face we love, as we look at the face of our mother earth, and see all sorts of answers to our own yearnings.
George Eliot
I'm not denyin' the women are foolish. God Almighty made 'em to match the men.
George Eliot
The important work of moving the world forward does not wait to be done by perfect men.
George Eliot
When one wanted one's interests looking after whatever the cost, it was not so well for a lawyer to be over honest, else he might not be up to other people's tricks.
George Eliot
In spite of his practical ability, some of his experience had petrified into maxims and quotations.
George Eliot
Human longings are perversely obstinate and to the man whose mouth is watering for a peach, it is of no use to offer the largest vegetable marrow.
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
Human experience is usually paradoxical.
George Eliot
Plainness has its peculiar temptations and vices quite as much as beauty.
George Eliot
Expenditure--like ugliness and errors--becomes a totally new thing when we attach our own personality to it, and measure it by that wide difference which is manifest (in our own sensations) between ourselves and others.
George Eliot
No matter whether failure came A thousand different times, For one brief moment of success, Life rang its golden chimes.
George Eliot
