George Eliot, Romola, 1863 quotes
"Our deeds are like children that are born to us; they live and act apart from our own will. Nay, children may be strangled, but deeds never: they have an indestructible life both in and out of our consciousness."
Results Why, man, I have gotten a lot of results. I know several thousand things that won't work.
I am not discouraged, because every wrong attempt discarded is another step forward.
"Our deeds are like children that are born to us; they live and act apart from our own will. Nay, children may be strangled, but deeds never: they have an indestructible life both in and out of our consciousness."
