Meredith, George
Quotations
If you kneel down, who will decline to
put a foot on you?
If I love you, need you care what
anybody else thinks
If we are to please you rightly, always
allow us to play First
If he had valued you half a grain less,
he might have won you
If the world is hostile we are not to
blame it
If we are robbed, we ask, How came we
by the goods?
If thou wouldst fix remembrance--
thwack!
If I'm struck, I strike back
If only been intellectually a little
flexible in his morality
If you have this creative soul, be the
slave of your creature
If I do not speak of payment
Ignorance roaring behind a mask of
sarcasm
Imagination she has, for a source of
strength in the future days
Immense wealth and native obtuseness
combine to disfigure us
Imparting the usual chorus of yesses to
his own mind
Impossible for him to think that women
thought
Impossible for us women to comprehend
love without folly in man
Impudent boy's fling at superiority
over the superior
In the pay of our doctors
In every difficulty, patience is a
life-belt
In India they sacrifice the widows, in
France the virgins
In bottle if not on draught (oratory)
In our House, my son, there is peculiar
blood. We go to wreck!
In Sir Austin's Note-book was written:
"Between Simple Boyhood..."
In Italy, a husband away, ze friend
takes title
In truth she sighed to feel as he did,
above everybody
Incapable of putting the screw upon
weak excited nature
Incessantly speaking of the necessity
we granted it unknowingly
Inclined to act hesitation in accepting
the aid she sought
Increase of dissatisfaction with the
more she got
Indirect communication with heaven
Inducement to act the hypocrite before
the hypocrite world
Indulged in their privilege of thinking
what they liked
Infallibility of our august mother
Infants are said to have their ideas,
and why not young ladies?
Infatuated men argue likewise, and
scandal does not move them
Inferences are like shadows on the wall
Inflicted no foretaste of her coming
subjection to him
Informed him that he never played jokes
with money, or on men
Injury forbids us to be friends again
Innocence and uncleanness may go
together
Insistency upon there being two sides
to a case--to every case
Intellectual contempt of easy dupes
Intensely communicative, but
inarticulate
Intentions are really rich possessions
Intimations of cowardice menacing a
paralysis of the will
Intrusion of the spontaneous on the
stereotyped would clash
Intrusion of hard material statements,
facts
Invite indecision to exhaust their
scruples
Ireland 's the sore place of England
Irishman there is a barrow trolling a
load of grievances
Irishmen will never be quite sincere
Ironical fortitude
Irony in him is only eulogy standing on
its head
Irony that seemed to spring from
aversion
Irony instead of eloquence
Irony provoked his laughter more than
fun
Irritability at the intrusion of past
disputes
Is he jealous? 'Only when I make him,
he is.'
