Notes from Wikiquote
Je recule
Ébloui de me voir moi même tout vermeil
Et d’avoir, moi, le coq, fait élever le soleil.
I fall back
dazzled at beholding myself all rosy red,
At having, I myself, caused the sun to rise.
More quotes by George Eliot
The blessed work of helping the world forward, happily does not wait to be done by perfect men.
Blessed is the man who, having nothing to say, abstains from giving us wordy evidence of the fact.
The happiest women, like the happiest nations, have no history.
Howiver, I'm not denyin' the women are foolish: God Almighty made 'em to match the men.
