Quotes and Images From The Works of George Meredith
Meredith, George
Quotations
Stand not in my way, nor follow me too
far
Startled by the criticism in laughter
State of feverish patriotism
Statesman who stooped to conquer fact
through fiction
Statistics are according to their
conjurors
Steady shakes them
Story that she believed indeed, but had
not quite sensibly felt
Strain to see in the utter dark, and
nothing can come of that
Straining for common talk, and showing
the strain
Strength in love is the sole sincerity
Strengthening the backbone for a bend
of the knee in calamity
Stultification of one's feelings and
ideas
Style is the mantle of greatness
Style resembling either early
architecture or utter dilapidation
Subterranean recess for Nature against
the Institutions of Man
Such a man was banned by the world,
which was to be despised?
Suggestion of possible danger might
more dangerous than silence
Sunning itself in the glass of Envy
Suspects all young men and most young
women
Suspicion was her best witness
Sweet treasure before which lies a
dragon sleeping
Sweetest on earth to her was to be
prized by her brother
Swell and illuminate citizen prose to a
princely poetic
Sympathy is for proving, not prating
Taint of the hypocrisy which comes with
shame
Take 'em somethin' like Providence--as
they come
Taking oath, as it were, by their lower
nature
Tale, which leaves the man's mind at
home
Task of reclaiming a bad man is
extremely seductive to good women
Taste a wound from the lightest touch,
and they nurse the venom
Tears of such a man have more of blood
than of water in them
Tears are the way of women and their
comfort
Tears that dried as soon as they had
served their end
Tears of men sink plummet-deep
Telling her anything, she makes half a
face in anticipation
Tendency to polysyllabic phraseology
Tenderness which Mrs. Mel permitted
rather than encouraged
Tension of the old links keeping us
together
Terrible decree, that all must act who
would prevail
That which fine cookery does for the
cementing of couples
That beautiful trust which habit gives
That a mask is a concealment
That fiery dragon, a beautiful woman
with brains
That sort of progenitor is your
"permanent aristocracy"
That plain confession of a lack of wit;
he offered combat
That is life--when we dare death to
live!
That pit of one of their dead silences
That's the natural shamrock, after the
artificial
The exhaustion ensuing we named
tranquillity
The most dangerous word of all--ja
The impalpable which has prevailing
weight
The world is wise in its way
The danger of a little knowledge of
things is disputable
The infant candidate delights in his
honesty
The rider's too heavy for the horse in
England
The Pilgrim's Scrip remarks that: Young
men take joy in nothing
The tragedy of the mirror is one for a
woman to write
The worst of it is, that we remember
The old confession, that we cannot
cook (The English)
The sentimentalists are represented by
them among the civilized
