Nature repairs her ravages,--repairs them with her sunshine and with human labor.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

Awful Night! Ancestral mystery...

Awful Night! Ancestral mystery of mysteries.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

Dark the Night, with breath al...

Dark the Night, with breath all flowers,
And tender broken voice that fills
With ravishment the listening hours,--
Whisperings, wooings,
Liquid ripples, and soft ring-dove cooings
In low-toned rhythm that love's aching stills!
Dark the night
Yet is she bright,
For in her dark she brings the mystic star,
Trembling yet strong, as is the voice of love,
From some unknown afar.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

Lord! Thou art with Thy people...

Lord! Thou art with Thy people still; they see Thee in the night-watches, and their hearts burn within them as Thou talkest with them by the way. And Thou art near to those that have not known Thee; open their eyes that they may see Thee--see Thee weeping over them, and saying, 'Ye will not come unto me that ye might have life'--see Thee hanging on the cross and saying, 'Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do'--see Thee as Thou wilt come again in Thy glory to judge them at the last. Amen.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

Don't let us rejoice in punish...

Don't let us rejoice in punishment, even when the hand of God alone inflicts it. The best of us are but poor wretches, just saved from shipwreck. Can we feel anything but awe and pity when we see a fellow-passenger swallowed by the waves?

George Eliot 1236 quotes

Our selfishness is so robust and many-clutching that, well encouraged, it easily devours all sustenance away from our poor little scruples.

Nothing at times is more expressive than silence.

That golden sky, which was the doubly blessed symbol of advancing day and of approaching rest.

Many an inherited sorrow that has marred a life has been breathed into no human ear.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

To the old, sorrow is sorrow; ...

To the old, sorrow is sorrow; to the young, it is despair.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

The human soul is hospitable, ...

The human soul is hospitable, and will entertain conflicting sentiments and contradictory opinions with much impartiality.

A peasant can no more help believing in a traditional superstition than a horse can help trembling when be sees a camel.

Don't seem to he on the lookout for crows, else you'll set other people watching.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

Ingenious philosophers tell you, perhaps, that the great work of the steam-engine is to create leisure for mankind. Do not believe them; it only creates a vacuum for eager thought to rush in.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

Love is frightened at the inte...

Love is frightened at the intervals of insensibility and callousness that encroach by little and little on the domain of grief, and it makes efforts to recall the keenness of the first anguish.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

Until every good man is brave,...

Until every good man is brave, we must expect to find many good women timid--too timid even to believe in the correctness of their own best promptings, when these would place them in a minority.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

I trust you as holy men trust ...

I trust you as holy men trust God; you could do nought that was not pure and loving, though the deed might pierce me unto death.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

Our vanities differ as our nos...

Our vanities differ as our noses do: all conceit is not the same conceit, but varies in correspondence with the minutiae of mental make in which one of us differs from another.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

The vainest woman is never tho...

The vainest woman is never thoroughly conscious of her beauty till she is loved by the man who sets her own passion vibrating in return.

George Eliot 1236 quotes

The early months of marriage often are times of critical tumult,--whether that of a shrimp pool or of deeper water,--which afterwards subside into cheerful peace.
