Quotes and Images From The Works of George Meredith
Meredith, George
Quotations
No enemy's shot is equal to a weak
heart in the act
No man can hear the words which prove
him a prophet (quietly)
No conversation coming of it, her
curiosity was violent
No intoxication of hot blood to cheer
those who sat at home
No case is hopeless till a man consents
to think it is
No love can be without jealousy
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 every chapter can be sunshine
Not afford to lose, and a disposition
free of the craving to win
Not men of brains, but the men of
aptitudes
Not the indignant and the frozen, but
the genially indifferent
Not daring risk of office by offending
the taxpayer
Not in love--She was only not unwilling
to be in love
Not a page of his books reveals
malevolence or a sneer
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 to be feared more than are the
general race of bunglers
Not much esteem for non-professional
actresses
Not in a situation that could bear of
her blaming herself
Not so much read a print as read the
imprinting on themselves
Not to go hunting and fawning for
alliances
Not to bother your wits, but leave the
puzzle to the priest
Not to be the idol, to have an aim of
our own
Not the great creatures we assume
ourselves to be
Not likely to be far behind curates in
besieging an heiress
Nothing is a secret that has been
spoken
Nothing desirable will you have which
is not coveted
Nothing the body suffers that the soul
may not profit by
Notoriously been above the honours of
grammar
Nought credit but what outward orbs
reveal
Now far from him under the failure of
an effort to come near
Nursing of a military invalid awakens
tenderer anxieties
O for yesterday!
O self! self! self!
O heaven! of what avail is human
effort?
Obedience oils necessity
Obeseness is the most sensitive of our
ailments
Objects elevated even by a decayed
world have their magnetism
Observation is the most, enduring of
the pleasures of life
Occasional instalments--just to freshen
the account
Official wrath at sound of footfall or
a fancied one
Oggler's genial piety made him shrink
with nausea
Oh! beastly bathos
Oh! I can't bear that class of people
Old houses are doomed to burnings
Old age is a prison wall between us and
young people
Omnipotence, which is in the image of
themselves
On a morning when day and night were
made one by fog
On the threshold of Puberty, there is
one Unselfish Hour
On which does the eye linger longest--
which draws the heart?
On a wild April morning
Once my love? said he. Not now?--does
it mean, not now?
Once out of the rutted line, you are
food for lion and jackal
Once called her beautiful; his praise
had given her beauty
One wants a little animation in a
husband
One who studies is not being a fool
