More quotes by T. S. Eliot
Most of the evil in this world is done by people with good intentions.
T. S. Eliot
For every life and every act consequence of good and evil can be shown and as in time results of many deeds are blended so good and evil in the end become confounded.
T. S. Eliot
Where is the Life we lost in living?
T. S. Eliot
Where shall the word be found, where will the word / Resound? Not here, there is not enough silence.
T. S. Eliot
We do not quite say that the new is more valuable because it fits in but its fitting in is a test of its value - a test, it is true, which can only be slowly and cautiously applied, for we are none of us infallible judges of conformity.
T. S. Eliot
It's not wise to violate rules until you know how to observe them.
T. S. Eliot
Everyone's alone - or so it seems to me. They make noises, and think they are talking to each other They make faces, and think they understand each other. And I'm sure they don't. Is that a delusion?
T. S. Eliot
Light Light The visible reminder of Invisible Light.
T. S. Eliot
The majority of mankind is lazyminded, incurious, absorbed in vanities, and tepid in emotion, and is therefore incapable of either much doubt or much faith.
T. S. Eliot
If you desire to drain to the dregs the fullest cup of scorn and hatred that a fellow human being can pour out for you, let a young mother hear you call dear baby 'it.'
T. S. Eliot
O father, father Gone from us, lost to us, The church lies bereft, Alone, Desecrated, desolated. And the heathen shall build On the ruins Their world without God. I see it. I see it.
T. S. Eliot
I am glad you have a Cat, but I do not believe it is So remarkable a cat as My Cat.
T. S. Eliot
I am aware of the damp souls of housemaids Sprouting despondently at area gates.
T. S. Eliot
Finding a way to live the simple life is one of life's supreme complications.
T. S. Eliot
Amongst the rock one cannot stop or think
T. S. Eliot
It will do you no harm to find yourself ridiculous. Resign yourself to be the fool you are... ...We must always take risks. That is our destiny.
T. S. Eliot
The endless cycle of idea and action, / Endless invention, endless experiment, / Brings knowledge of motion, but not of stillness / Knowledge of speech, but not of silence / Knowledge of words, and ignorance of The Word.
T. S. Eliot
Success is relative. It is what we make of the mess we have made of things.
T. S. Eliot
The hint half guessed, the gift half understood, is Incarnation.
T. S. Eliot
A good deal of confusion could be avoided, if we refrained from setting before the group, what can be the aim only of the individual and before society as a whole, what can be the aim only of the group.
T. S. Eliot
