More quotes by 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
The true purpose of education is to cherish and unfold the seed of immortality already sown within us.
Anna Brownell Jameson
Occupation was one of the pleasures of paradise, and we cannot be happy without it.

Conflict, which rouses up the best and highest powers in some characters, in others not only jars the whole being, but paralyzes the faculties.
Anna Brownell Jameson
A cunning mind emphatically delights in its own cunning, and is the ready prey of cunning.
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
Fame is that which is known to exist by the echo of its footsteps through congenial minds.

Anna Brownell Jameson

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
If a superior woman marry a vulgar or inferior man, he makes her miserable, but seldom governs her mind or vulgarizes her nature and if there be love on his side, the chances are that in the end she will elevate and refine him.

Thoughts and emotions which never perhaps were in the mind of the artist, never were anticipated, never were intended by him - may be strongly suggested by his work. This is an important part of the morals of art, which we must never lose sight of. Art is not only for pleasure and profit, but for good and for evil.
Anna Brownell Jameson
Conversation may be compared to a lyre with seven chords-philosophy, art, poetry, love, scandal, and the weather.
Anna Brownell Jameson
Extreme vanity sometimes hides under the garb of ultra modesty.
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
Fear, either as a principle or a motive, is the beginning of all evil.
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.
