More quotes by Anna Brownell Jameson
Satan--the impersonation of that mixture of the bestial, the malignant, the impious, and the hopeless, which constitute the fiend--the enemy of all that is human and divine.
Anna Brownell Jameson
I have great admiration for power, a great terror of weakness, especially in my own sex, yet feel that my love is for those who overcome the mental and moral suffering and temptation through excess of tenderness rather than through excess of strength.
Anna Brownell Jameson
We can sometimes love what we do not understand, but it is impossible completely to understand what we do not love.
Anna Brownell Jameson
Never yet were the feelings and instincts of our nature violated with impunity never yet was the voice of conscience silenced without retribution.
Anna Brownell Jameson
In our relations with the people around us, we forgive them more readily for what they do, which they can help, than for what they are, which they cannot help.
Anna Brownell Jameson

Anna Brownell Jameson
What we truly and earnestly aspire to be, that in some sense we are.
Anna Brownell Jameson

Anna Brownell Jameson
What we truly and earnestly aspire to be, that in some sense we are. The mere aspiration, by changing the frame of mind, for the moment realizes itself.
Anna Brownell Jameson
A cunning mind emphatically delights in its own cunning, and is the ready prey of cunning.
Anna Brownell Jameson
All my own experience of life teaches me the contempt of cunning, not the fear. The phrase profound cunning, has always seemed to me a contradiction in terms. I never knew a cunning mind which was not either shallow, or on some point diseased.
Anna Brownell Jameson
In the art of design, color is to form what verse is to prose,--a more harmonious and luminous vehicle of the thought.
Anna Brownell Jameson
Fear, either as a principle or a motive, is the beginning of all evil.
Anna Brownell Jameson
Blessed is the memory of those who have kept themselves unspotted from the world. Yet more blessed and more dear the memory of those who have kept themselves unspotted in the world.
Anna Brownell Jameson
Genius and sunshine have this in common that they are the two most precious gifts of heaven to earth, and are dispensed equally to the just and the unjust.
Anna Brownell Jameson
To reason from analogy is often dangerous, but to illustrate by a fanciful analogy is sometimes a means by which we light an idea, as it were, into the understanding of another.
Anna Brownell Jameson
A bond is necessary to complete our being, only we must be careful that the bond does not become bondage.
Anna Brownell Jameson
The true purpose of education is to cherish and unfold the seed of immortality already sown within us.
Anna Brownell Jameson
Have the courage to appear poor and you disarm poverty of its sharpest sting.
