More quotes by 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
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
Have the courage to appear poor and you disarm poverty of its sharpest sting.
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.
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
Avarice is to the intellect what sensuality is to the morals.
Anna Brownell Jameson
Occupation was one of the pleasures of paradise, and we cannot be happy without it.
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
A cunning mind emphatically delights in its own cunning, and is the ready prey of cunning.
Anna Brownell Jameson
Extreme vanity sometimes hides under the garb of ultra modesty.
Anna Brownell Jameson
In our relations with the people around us, we forgive them more readily for what they do, which they can help, than for what they are, which they cannot help.
Anna Brownell Jameson
Nature and truth are one, and immutable, and inseparable as beauty and love.
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
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.
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
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
You must never believe what the newspapers say. I stand aghast at the impudence of the lies they contain, things not only false in fact, but absolutely impossible.
Anna Brownell Jameson
All my own experience of life teaches me the contempt of cunning, not the fear. The phrase profound cunning, has always seemed to me a contradiction in terms. I never knew a cunning mind which was not either shallow, or on some point diseased.
Anna Brownell Jameson
In the art of design, color is to form what verse is to prose,--a more harmonious and luminous vehicle of the thought.
Anna Brownell Jameson
Fame is that which is known to exist by the echo of its footsteps through congenial minds.
