More quotes by James Anthony Froude
The endurance of the inequalities of life by the poor is the marvel of human society.
James Anthony Froude
Every one of us ... knows better than he practices, and recognizes a better law than he obeys.
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
I would sooner perish for ever than stoop down before a Being who may have power to crush me, but whom my heart forbids me to reverence.

James Anthony Froude
We live merely on the crust or rind of things.
James Anthony Froude
Crime is not punished as an offense against God, but as prejudicial to society.

James Anthony Froude
Fear is the parent of cruelty.
James Anthony Froude
Women's eyes are rapid in detecting a heart which is ill at ease with itself, and, knowing the value of sympathy, and finding their own greatest happiness not in receiving it, but in giving it, with them to be unhappy is at once to be interesting.
James Anthony Froude
Human improvement is from within outward.
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
Carelessness is inexcusable, and merits the inevitable sequence.
James Anthony Froude
The moral of human life is never simple, and the moral of a story which aims only at being true to human life cannot be expected to be any more so.
James Anthony Froude
To deny the freedom of the will is to make morality impossible.
James Anthony Froude
I cut a hole in my heart and wrote with the blood.
James Anthony Froude
The better one is morally the less aware they are of their virtue.
