Anna Brownell Jameson
A good taste is often unconscious a just taste is always conscious.
Anna Brownell Jameson
All my experience of the world teaches me that in ninety-nine cases out of a hundred the safe side and the just side of a question is the generous side and the merciful side.
Anna Brownell Jameson
A man may be as much a fool from the want of sensibility as the want of sense.
Anna Brownell Jameson
Fame is that which is known to exist by the echo of its footsteps through congenial minds.

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

Anna Brownell Jameson
Nature and truth are one, and immutable, and inseparable as beauty and love.
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
Childhood sometimes does pay a second visit to man youth never.
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
It is not poverty so much as pretence that harasses a ruined man--the struggle between a proud mind and an empty purse--the keeping up a hollow show that must soon come to an end. Have the courage to appear poor, and you disarm poverty of its sharpest sting.
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
Avarice is to the intellect what sensuality is to the morals.
