 | George Eliot |
There is no despair so absolute as that which comes with the first moments of our first great sorrow, when we have not yet known what it is to have suffered and be healed, to have despaired and have recovered hope.
Life is measured by the rapidity of change, the succession of influences that modify the being.
It always remains true that if we had been greater, circumstance would have been less strong against us.
The beginning of an acquaintance whether with persons or things is to get a definite outline for our ignorance.
Keep true, never be ashamed of doing right; decide on what you think is right and stick to it.
