Quotations from the Project Gutenberg Editions of the Collected Works of George Meredith
Meredith, George
English literature; Quotations
Can't be such rank idiots
Naked original ideas, are acceptable at no time
Napoleon's treatment of women is excellent example
Nation's half made-up of the idle and the servants of the idle
Nations at war are wild beasts
Naturally as deceived as he wished to be
Nature and Law never agreed
Nature is not of necessity always roaring
Nature could at a push be eloquent to defend the guilty
Nature's logic, Nature's voice, for self-defence
Naughtily Australian and kangarooly
Necessary for him to denounce somebody
Necessity's offspring
Needed support of facts, and feared them
Never nurse an injury, great or small
Never fell far short of outstripping the sturdy pedestrian Time
Never forget that old Ireland is weeping
Never reckon on womankind for a wise act
Never was a word fitter for a quack's mouth than "humanity"
Never forgave an injury without a return blow for it
Never to despise the good opinion of the nonentities
Never, never love a married woman
Never intended that we should play with flesh and blood
Never pretend to know a girl by her face
Nevertheless, inclinations are an infidelity
Next door to the Last Trump
Night has little mercy for the self-reproachful
No enemy's shot is equal to a weak heart in the act
No case is hopeless till a man consents to think it is
No runner can outstrip his fate
No flattery for me at the expense of my sisters
No heart to dare is no heart to love!
No nose to the hero, no moral to the tale
No word is more lightly spoken than shame
No intoxication of hot blood to cheer those who sat at home
No man can hear the words which prove him a prophet (quietly)
No great harm done when you're silent
No stopping the Press while the people have an appetite for it
No Act to compel a man to deny what appears in the papers
No love can be without jealousy
No man has a firm foothold who pretends to it
No conversation coming of it, her curiosity was violent
No companionship save with the wound they nurse
No! Gentlemen don't fling stones; leave that to the blackguards
None but fanatics, cowards, white-eyeballed dogmatists
Nor can a protest against coarseness be sweepingly interpreted
Not to bother your wits, but leave the puzzle to the priest
Not likely to be far behind curates in besieging an heiress
Not to go hunting and fawning for alliances
Not much esteem for non-professional actresses
Not every chapter can be sunshine
Not in a situation that could bear of her blaming herself
Not to be the idol, to have an aim of our own
Not the indignant and the frozen, but the genially indifferent
Not always the right thing to do the right thing
Not to do things wholly is worse than not to do things at all
Not a page of his books reveals malevolence or a sneer
Not in love--She was only not unwilling to be in love
Not to be feared more than are the general race of bunglers
Not men of brains, but the men of aptitudes
Not daring risk of office by offending the taxpayer
Not afford to lose, and a disposition free of the craving to win
