In all failures, the beginning is certainly the half of the whole.

Other George Eliot quotes:
There is only one failure in life possible, and that is not to be true to the best one knows.
It is not true that a man's intellectual power is, like the strength of a timber beam, to be measured by its weakest point.
Better a false belief than no belief at all.
Things are achieved when they are well begun.
Life is measured by the rapidity of change, the succession of influences that modify the being.
What sunshine is to flowers, smiles are to humanity.
Those old stories of visions and dreams guiding men have their truth; we are saved by making the future present to ourselves.
Life would be no better than candlelight tinsel and daylight rubbish if our spirits were not touched by what has been, to issues of longing and constancy.
All meanings, we know, depend on the key of interpretation.
One must be poor to know the luxury of giving!
