More quotes by James Anthony Froude
Men are made by nature unequal. It is vain, therefore, to treat them as if they were equal.
James Anthony Froude
If you think you can temper yourself into manliness by sitting here over your books, it is the very silliest fancy that ever tempted a young man to his ruin. You cannot dream yourself into a character you must hammer and forge yourself one.
James Anthony Froude
When a woman's heart is flowing over for the first time with deep and passionate love, she is all love. Every faculty of her soul rushes together in the intensity of the one feeling thought, reflection, conscience, duty, the past, the future, they are names to her light as the breath which speaks them her soul is full.
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
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
To deny the freedom of the will is to make morality impossible.
James Anthony Froude
The better one is morally the less aware they are of their virtue.
James Anthony Froude
Scepticism, like wisdom, springs out in full panoply only from the brain of a god, and it is little profit to see an idea in its growth, unless we track its seed to the power which sowed it.
James Anthony Froude
There are at bottom but two possible religions--that which rises in the moral nature of man, and which takes shape in moral commandments, and that which grows out of the observation of the material energies which operate in the external universe.
James Anthony Froude
Every one of us ... knows better than he practices, and recognizes a better law than he obeys.
James Anthony Froude
What is right or duty without power ? To tell a man it is his duty to submit his judgment to the judgment of the church, is like telling a wife it is her duty to love her husband a thing easy to say, but meaning simply nothing. Affection must be won, not commanded.
James Anthony Froude
Morality rests upon a sense of obligation and obligation has no meaning except as implying a Divine command, without which it would cease to be.
James Anthony Froude
Morality, when vigorously alive, sees farther than intellect, and provides unconsciously for intellectual difficulties.
James Anthony Froude
I am convinced with Plato , with St. Paul, with St. Augustine, with Calvin , and with Leibnitz, that this universe, and every smallest portion of it, exactly fulfils the purpose for which Almighty God designed it.
James Anthony Froude
That in these times every serious person should not in his heart have felt some difliculty with the doctrines of the incarnation, I cannot helieve. We are not as we were. When Christianity was first published, the imagination of mankind presented the relation of heaven to earth very differently from what it does now.
James Anthony Froude
Where all are selfish, the sage is no better than the fool, and only rather more dangerous.
James Anthony Froude
Charity is from person to person and it loses half, far more than half, its moral value when the giver is not brought into personal relation with those to whom he gives.
James Anthony Froude
To tell men that they cannot help themselves is to fling them into recklessness and despair.
James Anthony Froude
Carelessness is inexcusable, and merits the inevitable sequence.
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.
