Quote by George Eliot
In the multitude of middle-aged men who go about their vocations in a daily course determined for them much in the same way as the tie of their cravats, there is always a good number who once meant to shape their own deeds and alter the world a little.
Summary
This quote highlights the reality that many middle-aged men have settled into routine lives, content with pursuing their daily vocations without pursuing their original ambitions. They have become complacent and no longer seek to make a significant impact or bring about change as they had once desired. The quote suggests that, while there may be a good number of individuals who possess the potential to make a difference, they have succumbed to societal expectations and abandoned their aspirations.
