Quotes and Images From The Works of George Meredith
Meredith, George
Quotations
Those who have the careless chatter,
the ready laugh
Those who are rescued and made happy by
circumstances
Thought of differences with him caused
frightful apprehensions
Threatened powerful drugs for weak
stomachs
Threats of prayer, however, that harp
upon their sincerity
Thus does Love avenge himself on the
unsatisfactory Past
Thus are we stricken by the days of our
youth
Tight grasps of the hand, in which
there was warmth and shyness
Tighter than ever I was tight I'll be
to-night
Time and strength run to waste in
retarding the inevitable
Time is due to us, and the minutes are
our gold slipping away
Time, whose trick is to turn corners of
unanticipated sharpness
Times when an example is needed by
brave men
Tis the fashion to have our tattle done
by machinery
Tis the first step that makes a path
Titles showered on the women who take
free breath of air
To be a really popular hero anywhere in
Britain (must be a drinker)
To hope, and not be impatient, is
really to believe
To males, all ideas are female until
they are made facts
To be both generally blamed, and
generally liked
To let people speak was a maxim of Mrs.
Mel's, and a wise one
To kill the deer and be sorry for the
suffering wretch is common
To be passive in calamity is the
province of no woman
To the rest of the world he was a
progressive comedy
To know how to take a licking, that
wins in the end
To have no sympathy with the playful
mind is not to have a mind
To time and a wife it is no disgrace
for a man to bend
To know that you are in England,
breathing the same air with me
To be her master, however, one must not
begin by writhing as her slave
To do nothing, is the wisdom of those
who have seen fools perish
To most men women are knaves or ninnies
To beg the vote and wink the bribe
Tongue flew, thought followed
Too well used to defeat to believe
readily in victory
Too prompt, too full of personal relish
of his point
Too many time-servers rot the State
Too weak to resist, to submit to an
outrage quietly
Too often hangs the house on one loose
stone
Took care to be late, so that all eyes
beheld her
Tooth that received a stone when it
expected candy
Top and bottom sin is cowardice
Tossed him from repulsion to
incredulity, and so back
Touch him with my hand, before he
passed from our sight
Touch sin and you accommodate yourself
to its vileness
Touching a nerve
Toyed with little flowers of palest
memory
Tradesman, and he never was known to
have sent in a bill
Trial of her beauty of a woman in a
temper
Trick for killing time without hurting
him
Tried to be honest, and was as much so
as his disease permitted
Troublesome appendages of success
True love excludes no natural duty
True enjoyment of the princely
disposition
Trust no man Still, this man may be
better than that man
Truth is, they have taken a stain from
the life they lead
Twice a bad thing to turn sinners loose
Twisted by a nature that would not
allow of open eyes
