Quotes and Images From The Works of George Meredith
Meredith, George
Quotations
Two wishes make a will
Two principal roads by which poor
sinners come to a conscience
Two people love, there is no such thing
as owing between them
Unaccustomed to have his will thwarted
Unanimous verdicts from a jury of
temporary impressions
Uncommon unprogressiveness
Unfeminine of any woman to speak
continuously anywhere
Universal censor's angry spite
Unseemly hour--unbetimes
Unshamed exuberant male has found the
sweet reverse in his mate
Use your religion like a drug
Utterance of generous and patriotic
cries is not sufficient
Vagrant compassionateness of
sentimentalists
Vanity maketh the strongest most weak
Venerated by his followers, well hated
by his enemies
Venus of nature was melting into a
Venus of art
Very little parleying between
determined men
Vessel was conspiring to ruin our
self-respect
Victims of the modern feminine 'ideal'
Violent summons to accept, which is a
provocation to deny
Virtue of impatience
Virtuously zealous in an instant on
behalf of the lovely dame
Vowed never more to repeat that offence
to his patience
Vulgarity in others evoked vulgarity in
her
Wait till the day's ended before you
curse your luck
Waited serenely for the certain
disasters to enthrone her
Wakening to the claims of others--
Youth's infant conscience
Want of courage is want of sense
War is only an exaggerated form of
duelling
Warm, is hardly the word--Winter's warm
on skates
Was I true? Not so very false, yet how
far from truth!
Was not one of the order whose Muse is
the Public Taste
Was born on a hired bed
Watch, and wait
We are, in short, a civilized people
We shall not be rich--nor poor
We could row and ride and fish and
shoot, and breed largely
We has long overshadowed "I"
We are good friends till we quarrel
again
We are chiefly led by hope
We have a system, not planned but grown
We can bear to fall; we cannot afford
to draw back
We can't hope to have what should be
We don't know we are in halves
We must fawn in society
We never see peace but in the features
of the dead
We live alone, and do not much feel it
till we are visited
We dare not be weak if we would
We do not see clearly when we are
trying to deceive
We women can read men by their power to
love
We were unarmed, and the spectacle was
distressing
We trust them or we crush them
We shall go together; we shall not have
to weep for one another
We make our taskmasters of those to
whom we have done a wrong
We cannot relinquish an idea that was
ours
We deprive all renegades of their
spiritual titles
We like well whatso we have done good
work for
We grew accustomed to periods of Irish
fever
We have come to think we have a claim
upon her gratitude
We must have some excuse, if we would
keep to life
We shall want a war to teach the
country the value of courage
We cannot, men or woman, control the
heart in sleep at night
We have now looked into the hazy
interior of their systems
We don't go together into a garden of
roses
