It seems to me we can never give up longing And wishing while we are thoroughly alive. There are certain things we feel to be beautiful and good, And we must hunger after them. -- George Eliot
If you sit down at set of sun And count the acts that you have done, And counting find One self-denying deed, one word That eased the heart of him who heard One glance most kind That fell like sunshine where it went- Then you may count that day well spent. -- George Eliot
There is a great deal of unmapped country within us which would have to be taken into account in an explanation of our gusts and storms. -- George Eliot
