Anna Brownell Jameson

Anna Brownell Jameson
Nature and truth are one, and immutable, and inseparable as beauty and love.
Anna Brownell Jameson
Modesty and chastity are twins
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
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
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
Occupation was one of the pleasures of paradise, and we cannot be happy without it.
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
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.
