More quotes by George Eliot
A foreman, if he's got a conscience, and delights in his work, will do his business as well as if he was a partner. I wouldn't give a penny for a man as 'ud drive a nail in slack because he didn't get extra pay for it.
George Eliot
You are discontented with the world because you can't get just the small things that suit your pleasure, not because it's a world where myriads of men and women are ground by wrong and misery, and tainted with pollution.
George Eliot
We hand folks over to God's mercy, and show none ourselves.
George Eliot
The worst service, I fancy, that anyone can do for truth, is to set silly people writing on its behalf.
George Eliot
Our dead are never dead to us until we have forgotten them: they can be injured by us, they can be wounded they know all our penitence, all our aching sense that their place is empty, all the kisses we bestow on the smallest relic of their presence.
George Eliot
There's nothing but what's bearable as long as a man can work.... The square o' four is sixteen, and you must lengthen your lever in proportion to your weight, is as true when a man's miserable as when he's happy and the best o' working is, it gives you a grip hold o' things outside your own lot.
George Eliot
You must learn to deal with the odd and even in life, as well as in figures.
George Eliot
I think I should have no other mortal wants, if I could always have plenty of music.
George Eliot
She was no longer wrestling with the grief, but could sit down with it as a lasting companion and make it a sharer in her thoughts.
George Eliot
Fatally powerful as religious systems have been, human nature is stronger and wider, and though dogmas may hamper they cannot absolutely repress its growth.
George Eliot
What is your religion? I mean-not what you know about religion but the belief that helps you most?
George Eliot
Conscientious people are apt to see their duty in that which is the most painful course.
George Eliot
Poor dog! I've a strange feeling about the dumb things as if they wanted to speak, and it was a trouble to 'em because they couldn't. I can't help being sorry for the dogs always, though perhaps there's no need. But they may well have more in them than they know how to make us understand, for we can't say half what we feel, with all our words.
George Eliot
Life began with waking up and loving my mother's face.
George Eliot
Our thoughts are often worse than we are.
George Eliot
Delicious autumn! My very soul is wedded to it.
George Eliot
Beauty is part of the finished language by which goodness speaks.
George Eliot
Men and women are but children of a larger growth.
George Eliot
I tell you there isn't a thing under the sun that needs to be done at all, but what a man can do better than a woman, unless it's bearing children, and they do that in a poor make-shift way it had better ha been left to the men.
George Eliot
Friendship is the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person, having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words.
George Eliot
