Other George Eliot quotes:
Our deeds determine us, as much as we determine our deeds.
Better a false belief than no belief at all.
Wear a smile and have friends; wear a scowl and have wrinkles.
Genius at first is little more than a great capacity for receiving discipline.
It is difficult for a woman ever to try to be anything good when she is not believed in.
It will never rain roses: when we want to have more roses we must plant more trees.
All passion becomes strength when it has an outlet from the narrow limits of our personal lot in the labour of our right arm.
Those old stories of visions and dreams guiding men have their truth; we are saved by making the future present to ourselves.
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.
Uncomfortable thoughts must be got rid of by good intentions for the future.
