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
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
Life is change, to cease to change is to cease to live yet if you may shed a tear beside the death-bed of an old friend, let not your heart be silent on the dissolving of a faith.

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
Those who seek for something more than happiness in this world must not complain if happiness is not their portion.
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
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
I scarcely know a professional man I can like, and certainly not one who has been what the world calls successful, that I should the least wish to resemble.
James Anthony Froude
True greatness is the most ready to recognize and most willing to obey those simple outward laws which have been sanctioned by the experience of mankind.
James Anthony Froude
To tell men that they cannot help themselves is to fling them into recklessness and despair.
