Quotes by Eliot, George

Where women love each other, men learn to smother their mutual dislike >>

In the schoolroom her quick mind had taken readily that strong starch >>

The growing good of the world is partly dependent on unhistorical acts >>

Quotations about Gossip

At every word a reputation dies. >>

Avoid inquisitive persons, for they are sure to be gossips, their ears >>

The only time people dislike gossip is when you gossip about them. >>

Gossip is a sort of smoke that comes from the dirty tobacco-pipes of those who diffuse it: it proves nothing but the bad taste of the smoker.

Eliot, George
