Other George Eliot quotes:
It is difficult for a woman ever to try to be anything good when she is not believed in.
Failure after long perseverance is much grander than never to have a striving good enough to be called a failure.
Our deeds determine us, as much as we determine our deeds.
It is not true that love makes all things easy; it makes us choose what is difficult.
Those old stories of visions and dreams guiding men have their truth; we are saved by making the future present to ourselves.
The responsibility of tolerance lies with those who have the wider vision.
It will never rain roses: when we want to have more roses we must plant more trees.
Things are achieved when they are well begun.
To know intense joy without a strong bodily frame, one must have an enthusiastic soul.
Life is measured by the rapidity of change, the succession of influences that modify the being.
