George Eliot
  • We must not sit still and look for miracles up and doing, and the Lord will be with thee. Prayer and pains, through faith in Christ Jesus, will do anything.

  • Little children are still the symbol of the eternal marriage between love and duty.

  • There are many victories worse than a defeat.

  • The only failure one should fear, is not hugging to the purpose they see as best.

  • I'm proof against that word failure. I've seen behind it. The only failure a man ought to fear is failure of cleaving to the purpose he sees to be best.
