More quotes by 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
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
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.

Modesty and chastity are twins
Anna Brownell Jameson
Opinion has ever been stronger than law.
Anna Brownell Jameson
Nature and truth are one, and immutable, and inseparable as beauty and love.
Anna Brownell Jameson
The moment one begins to solder right and wrong together, one's conscience becomes like a piece of plated goods.
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
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
There are no such self-deceivers as those who think they reason when they only feel.
Anna Brownell Jameson
If we can still love those who have made us suffer, we love them all the more.
Anna Brownell Jameson
Conversation may be compared to a lyre with seven chords-philosophy, art, poetry, love, scandal, and the weather.
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.
