To most mortals there is a stu...

To most mortals there is a stupidity which is unendurable and a stupidity which is altogether acceptable - else, indeed, what would become of social bonds?

George Eliot 1236 quotes

The select natures who pant af...

The select natures who pant after the ideal, and find nothing in pantaloons or petticoats great enough to command their reverence and love, are curiously in unison with the narrowest and pettiest.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

We are overhasty to speak as i...

We are overhasty to speak as if God did not manifest himself by our silent feeling, and make his love felt through ours.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

We are all of us imaginative i...

We are all of us imaginative in some form or other, for images are the brood of desire.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

Doubtless a great anguish may ...

Doubtless a great anguish may do the work of years, and we may come out from that baptism of fire with a soul full of new awe and new pity.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

These fellow-mortals, every on...

These fellow-mortals, every one, must be accepted as they are: you can neither straighten their noses, nor brighten their wit, nor rectify their dispositions; and it is these people-amongst whom your life is passed-that it is needful you should tolerate, pity, and love: it is these more or less ugly, stupid, inconsistent people whose movements of goodness you should be able to admire-for whom you should cherish all possible hopes, all possible patience.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

Friendships begin with liking ...

Friendships begin with liking or gratitude- roots that can be pulled up.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

The yoke a man creates for him...

The yoke a man creates for himself by wrong-doing will breed hate in the kindliest nature.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

It's all one web, sir. The prosperity of the country is one web.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

Trouble comes to us all in thi...

Trouble comes to us all in this life: we set our hearts on things which it isn't God's will for us to have, and then we go sorrowing.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

I know forgiveness is a man's ...

I know forgiveness is a man's duty, but, to my thinking, that can only mean as you're to give up all thoughts o' taking revenge: it can never mean as you're t' have your old feelings back again, for that's not possible.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

...Though there's reasons in t...

...Though there's reasons in things as nobody knows on---- that's pretty much what I've made out; yet some folks are so wise they'll find you fifty reasons straight off, and all the while the real reason's winking at 'em in the corner, and they niver see't.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

'Heaven help us,' said the o...

'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 am influenced at the present...

I am influenced at the present time by far higher considerations and by a nobler idea of duty than I ever was when I held the Evangelical belief.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

I could not without vile hypoc...

I could not without vile hypocrisy and a miserable truckling to the smile of the world ... profess to join in worship which I wholly disapprove.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

Given, a man with moderate int...

Given, a man with moderate intellect, a moral standard not higher than the average, some rhetorical affluence and a great glibness of speech, what is the career in which, without the aid of birth or money, he may most easily attain power and reputation in English society? Where is that Goshen of mediocrity in which a smattering of science and learning will pass for profound instruction, where platitudes will be accepted as wisdom, bigoted narrowness as holy zeal, unctuous egoism as God-given piety?

George Eliot 1236 quotes

Minds fettered by this doctrin...

Minds fettered by this doctrine no longer inquire concerning a proposition whether it is attested by sufficient evidence, but whether it accords with Scripture; they do not search for facts as such, but for facts that will bear out their doctrine. It is easy to see that this mental habit blunts not only the perception of truth, but the sense of truthfulness, and that the man whose faith drives him into fallacies treads close upon the precipice of falsehood.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

Your dunce who can't do his su...

Your dunce who can't do his sums always has a taste for the infinite.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

God, immortality, duty - how i...

God, immortality, duty - how inconceivable the first, how unbelievable the second, how peremptory and absolute the third.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

It is time the clergy are told...

It is time the clergy are told that thinking men, after a close examination of that doctrine, pronounce it to be subversive of true moral development and, therefore, positively noxious.
