For purest pity is the eye of love
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.

O, brother man! fold to thy heart thy brother;
where pity dwells, the peace of God is there.
The craving for sympathy is the common boundary-line between joy and sorrow.
