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
All government, all exercise of power, no matter in what form, which is not based in love and directed by knowledge, is a tyranny.
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
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
Nature and truth are one, and immutable, and inseparable as beauty and love.
Anna Brownell Jameson
There are no such self-deceivers as those who think they reason when they only feel.
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
In every mind where there is a strong tendency to fear there is a strong capacity to hate. Those who dwell in fear dwell nest door to hate and I think it is the cowardice of women which makes them such intense haters.
