Quotes and Images From The Works of George Meredith
Meredith, George
Quotations
We're treated like old-fashioned
ornaments!
We're all of us hit at last, and
generally by our own weapon
We're a peaceful people, but 'ware who
touches us
We're smitten to-day in our hearts and
our pockets
We've all a parlous lot too much pulpit
in us
Weak stomach is certainly more carnally
virtuous than a full one
Weak reeds who are easily vanquished
and never overcome
Weak souls are much moved by having the
pathos on their side
Weather and women have some resemblance
they say
Weighty little word--woman's native
watchdog and guardian (No!)
Welcomed and lured on an adversary to
wild outhitting
Well, sir, we must sell our opium
Welsh blood is queer blood
Went into endless invalid's laughter
Were I chained, For liberty I would
sell liberty
What might have been
What the world says, is what the wind
says
What will be thought of me? not a small
matter to any of us
What he did, she took among other
inevitable matters
What a stock of axioms young people
have handy
What a woman thinks of women, is the
test of her nature
What else is so consolatory to a ruined
man?
What was this tale of Emilia, that grew
more and more perplexing
What ninnies call Nature in books
What a man hates in adversity is to see
'faces'
What's an eccentric? a child grown
grey!
When you run away, you don't live to
fight another day
When we see our veterans tottering to
their fall
When to loquacious fools with patience
rare I listen
When testy old gentlemen could commit
slaughter with ecstasy
When he's a Christian instead of a
Churchman
When Love is hurt, it is self-love that
requires the opiate
When duelling flourished on our land,
frail women powerful
When we despair or discolour things, it
is our senses in revolt
When you have done laughing with her,
you can laugh at her
Where fools are the fathers of every
miracle
Where one won't and can't, poor
t' other must
Where she appears, the first person
falls to second rank
Where heart weds mind, or nature joins
intellect
Where love exists there is goodness
Whimpering fits you said we enjoy and
must have in books
Who venerate when they love
Who cannot talk!--but who can?
Who rises from Prayer a better man, his
prayer is answered
Who beguiles so much as Self?
Who shrinks from an hour that is
suspended in doubt
Who in a labyrinth wandereth without
clue
Who enjoyed simple things when
commanding the luxuries
Who can really think, and not think
hopefully?
Who cries, Come on, and prays his gods
you won't
Who so intoxicated as the convalescent
catching at health?
Who shuns true friends flies fortune in
the concrete
Who ever loved that loved not at first
sight?
Whole body of fanatics combined to
precipitate the devotion
Whose bounty was worse to him than his
abuse
Why should these men take so much
killing?
Why, he'll snap your head off for a
word
Why he enjoyed the privilege of seeing,
and was not beside her
Wife and no wife, a prisoner in liberty
