More quotes by George Eliot
Our virtues are dearer to us the more we have had to suffer for them. It is the same with our children. All profound affection entertains a sacrifice. Our thoughts are often worse than we are, just as they are often better.
George Eliot
The responsibility of tolerance lies with those who have the wider vision.
George Eliot
Primary (the LDS Church's Sunday school for children) is where you go to do with somebody else's mother the things you would do with your own mother if she weren't so busy teaching Primary.
George Eliot
Many an irritating fault, many an unlovely oddity, has come of a hard sorrow.
George Eliot
A toddling little girl is a centre of common feeling which makes the most dissimilar people understand each other.
George Eliot
Marriage must be a relation either of sympathy or of conquest.
George Eliot
The yoke a man creates for himself by wrong-doing will breed hate in the kindliest nature.
George Eliot
Doesn't this quote just call up feelings of comfort and home? Comparing friendship to the nest a bird lives in and builds with loving determination reminds me that having a solid relationship takes work and dedication. And yet, when you succeed in crafting a friendship, you can rest in the comfort it provides.
George Eliot
Speech is often barren but silence also does not necessarily brood over a full nest. Your still fowl, blinking at you without remark, may all the while be sitting on one addled egg and when it takes to cackling will have nothing to announce but that addled delusion.
George Eliot
Husbands are an inferior class of men, who require keeping in order.
George Eliot
The first sense of mutual love excludes other feelings it will have the soul all to itself.
George Eliot
We could never have loved the earth so well if we had had no childhood in it.
George Eliot
But that intimacy of mutual embarrassment, in which each feels that the other is feeling something, having once existed, its effect is not to be done away with.
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
History repeats itself.
George Eliot
A proud woman who has learned to submit carries all her pride to the reinforcement of her submission, and looks down with severe superiority on all feminine assumption as unbecoming.
George Eliot
The human soul is hospitable, and will entertain conflicting sentiments and contradictory opinions with much impartiality.
George Eliot
After all, the true seeing is within.
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
Her heart went out to him with a stronger movement than ever, at the thought that people would blame him. Maggie hated blame she had been blamed her whole life, and nothing had come of it but evil tempers.
George Eliot
