Modesty and chastity are twins
Anna Brownell Jameson
There are no such self-deceivers as those who think they reason when they only feel.
Anna Brownell Jameson
Fear, either as a principle or a motive, is the beginning of all evil.
Anna Brownell Jameson
I do not like new things of any kind, not even a new gown, far less a new acquaintance, therefore make as few as possible one can but have one's heart and hands full, and mine are. I have love and work enough to last me the rest of my life.
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
Avarice is to the intellect what sensuality is to the morals.
Anna Brownell Jameson
As what we call genius arises out of the disproportionate power and size of a certain faculty, so the great difficulty lies in harmonizing with it the rest of the character.

The true purpose of education is to cherish and unfold the seed of immortality already sown within us.
Anna Brownell Jameson
He that seeks popularity in art closes the door on his own genius: as he must needs paint for other minds, and not for his own.
Anna Brownell Jameson
If a superior woman marry a vulgar or inferior man, he makes her miserable, but seldom governs her mind or vulgarizes her nature and if there be love on his side, the chances are that in the end she will elevate and refine him.
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
Nature and truth are one, and immutable, and inseparable as beauty and love.
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
A cunning mind emphatically delights in its own cunning, and is the ready prey of cunning.
Anna Brownell Jameson
Talk without truth is the hollow brass talk without love is like the tinkling cymbal, and when it does not tinkle it jingles, and when it does not jingle, it jars.
Anna Brownell Jameson
Extreme vanity sometimes hides under the garb of ultra modesty.
Anna Brownell Jameson
As the eye becomes blinded by fashion to positive deformity, so, through social conventionalism, the conscience becomes blinded to positive immorality.
Anna Brownell Jameson
Conversation may be compared to a lyre with seven chords-philosophy, art, poetry, love, scandal, and the weather.
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.
