It's no use filling your pocket with money if you have got a hole in the corner.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

The tale of the Divine Pity w...

The tale of the Divine Pity was never yet believed from lips that were not felt to be moved by human pity.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

When God makes His presence f...

When God makes His presence felt through us, we are like the burning bush: Moses never took any heed what sort of bush it was—he only saw the brightness of the Lord.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

Of new acquaintances one can ...

Of new acquaintances one can never be sure because one likes them one day that it will be so the next. Of old friends one is sure that it will be the same yesterday, today, and forever.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

A medical man likes to make p...

A medical man likes to make psychological observations, and sometimes in the pursuit of such studies is too easily tempted into momentous prophecy which life and death easily set at nought.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

Looking at your life as a deb...

Looking at your life as a debt may seem the dreariest view of things at a distance; but it cannot really be so. What makes life dreary is the want of motive; but once beginning to act with the penitential, loving purpose you have in your mind, there will be unexpected satisfactions--there will be newly-opening needs--continually coming to carry you on from day to day. You will find your life growing like a plant.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

Men outlive their love, but t...

Men outlive their love, but they don’t outlive the consequences of their recklessness.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

The thing we look forward to ...

The thing we look forward to often comes to pass, but never precisely in the way we have imagined to ourselves.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

A human life, I think, should...

A human life, I think, should be well rooted in some spot of a native land, where it may get the love of tender kinship for the face of earth, for the labors men go forth to, for the sounds and accents that haunt it, for whatever will give that early home a familiar, unmistakable difference amidst the future widening of knowledge.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

Ah, I often think it's wi' th...

Ah, I often think it's wi' th' old folks as it is wi' the babies; they're satisfied wi' looking, no matter what they're looking at. It's God A'mighty's way o' quietening 'em, I reckon, afore they go to sleep.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

It is painful to be told that...

It is painful to be told that anything is very fine and not be able to feel that it is fine--something like being blind, while people talk of the sky.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

"Heaven help us," said the ol...

"Heaven help us," said the old religion; the new one, from its very lack of that faith, will teach us all the more to help one another.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

I desire no future that will ...

I desire no future that will break the ties of the past.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

Our life is determined for us...

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 1236 quotes

What a wretched lot of old sh...

What a wretched lot of old shrivelled creatures we shall be by-and-by. Never mind - the uglier we get in the eyes of others, the lovelier we shall be to each other; that has always been my firm faith about friendship.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

Conscience is harder than our...

Conscience is harder than our enemies, Knows more, accuses with more nicety.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

And Dorothea..she had no drea...

And Dorothea..she had no dreams of being praised above other women. Feeling that there was always something better which she might have done if she had only been better and known better, her full nature spent itself in deeds which left no great name on the earth, but the effect of her being on those around her was incalculable. For the growing good of the world is partly dependent on unhistoric acts and on all those Dorotheas who life faithfully their hidden lives and rest in unvisited tombs. Middlemarch

George Eliot 1236 quotes

I like not only to be loved, ...

I like not only to be loved, but also to be told that I am loved. I am not sure that you are of the same mind. But the realm of silence is large enough beyond the grave. This is the world of light and speech, and I shall take leave to tell you that you are very dear.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

My own experience and develop...

My own experience and development deepen every day my conviction that our moral progress may be measured by the degree in which we sympathize with individual suffering and individual joy.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

You are discontented with the...

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.
