More quotes by Anna Brownell Jameson
Fear, either as a principle or a motive, is the beginning of all evil.
Anna Brownell Jameson
A Canadian settler hates a tree, regards it as his natural enemy, as something to be destroyed, eradicated, annihilated by all and any means.
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
The true purpose of education is to cherish and unfold the seed of immortality already sown within us.
Anna Brownell Jameson
To some characters, fame is like an intoxicating cup placed to the lips,--they do well to turn away from it who fear it will turn their heads. But to others fame is love disguised, the love that answers to love in its widest, most exalted sense.
Anna Brownell Jameson
Out of the attempt to harmonize our actual life with our aspirations, our experience with our faith, we make poetry, - or, it may be, religion.
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
A king or a prince becomes by accident a part of history. A poet or an artist becomes by nature and necessity a part of universal humanity.
Anna Brownell Jameson
The streams which would otherwise diverge to fertilize a thousand meadows, must be directed into one deep narrow channel before they can turn a mill.
Anna Brownell Jameson
The moment one begins to solder right and wrong together, one's conscience becomes like a piece of plated goods.
Anna Brownell Jameson
As the rolling stone gathers no moss, so the roving heart gathers no affections.
Anna Brownell Jameson
Conflict, which rouses up the best and highest powers in some characters, in others not only jars the whole being, but paralyzes the faculties.
Anna Brownell Jameson
I have much more confidence in the charity which begins in the home and diverges into a large humanity, than in the world-wide philanthropy which begins at the outside of our horizon to converge into egotism.
Anna Brownell Jameson
When we talk of leaving our childhood behind us, we might as well say that the river flowing onward to the sea had left the fountain behind.
Anna Brownell Jameson
Nature and truth are one, and immutable, and inseparable as beauty and love.
Anna Brownell Jameson
The moment in which the spirit meets death is perhaps like the moment in which it is embraced in sleep. I suppose it never happened to any one to be conscious of the immediate transition from the waking to the sleeping state.
Anna Brownell Jameson
Nature is boundless in her powers, exhausting in her variety: the powers of Art and its capabilities of variety in production are bounded on every side. Nature herself, the infinite, has circumscribed the bounds of finite Art. The one is the divinity the other the priestess.
Anna Brownell Jameson
Of how many women might the history be comprised in those few words - 'she lived, suffered, and was buried'!
Anna Brownell Jameson
whatever is morally wrong, is equally wrong in man and in woman and no virtue is to be cultivated in one sex, that is not equally required by the other.
Anna Brownell Jameson
Conversation may be compared to a lyre with seven chords-philosophy, art, poetry, love, scandal, and the weather.
