More quotes by James Anthony Froude
I cannot think the disputes and jealousies of Heaven are tried and settled by the swords of earth.
James Anthony Froude
But the world was also so constructed, owing to the nature of the Maker of it, that superior strength was found in the long run to lie with those who had the right on their side.
James Anthony Froude
Man is a real man, and can live and act manfully in this world, not in the strength of opinions, not according to what he thinks, but according to what he is .
James Anthony Froude
Minds vary in sensitiveness and in self-power, as bodies do in susceptibility of attraction and repulsion. When, when shall we learn that they are governed by laws as inexorable as physical laws, and that a man can as easily refuse to obey what has power over him as a steel atom can resist the magnet?
James Anthony Froude
Nature is not a partisan, but out of her ample treasue house she produces children in infinite variety, of which she is equally the mother, and disowns none of them.
James Anthony Froude
Where nature is sovereign, there is no need of austerity and self-denial.
James Anthony Froude
The practical effect of a belief is the real test of its soundness. Where we find a heroic life appearing as the uniform fruit of a particular mode of opinion, it is childish to argue in the face of fact that the result ought to have been different.
James Anthony Froude
What is called virtue in the common sense of the word has nothing to do with this or that man's prosperity, or even happiness.
James Anthony Froude
The practical effect of a belief is the real test of its soundness.
James Anthony Froude
The endurance of the inequalities of life by the poor is the marvel of human society.
James Anthony Froude
I cut a hole in my heart and wrote with the blood.
James Anthony Froude
Just laws are no restraint upon the freedom of the good, for the good man desires nothing which a just law will interfere with.
James Anthony Froude
Fear is the parent of cruelty.
James Anthony Froude
We live merely on the crust or rind of things.
James Anthony Froude
Men are made by nature unequal. It is vain, therefore, to treat them as if they were equal.
James Anthony Froude
I could never fear a God who kept a hell prison-house. No, not though he flung me there because I refused. There is a power stronger than such a one and it is possible to walk unscathed even in the burning furnace.
James Anthony Froude
To deny the freedom of the will is to make morality impossible.
James Anthony Froude
Human improvement is from within outward.
James Anthony Froude
Those who seek for something more than happiness in this world must not complain if happiness is not their portion.
James Anthony Froude
To tell men that they cannot help themselves is to fling them into recklessness and despair.
James Anthony Froude
