More quotes by James Anthony Froude
The best that we can do for one another is to exchange our thoughts freely and that, after all, is about all.
James Anthony Froude
A single seed of fact will produce in a season or two a harvest of calumnies but sensible men will pay no attention to them.
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
The practical effect of a belief is the real test of its soundness.
James Anthony Froude
Where all are selfish, the sage is no better than the fool, and only rather more dangerous.
James Anthony Froude
Fear is the parent of cruelty.
James Anthony Froude
Justice without wisdom is impossible.
James Anthony Froude
As we advance in life, we learn the limits of our abilities.
James Anthony Froude
To deny the freedom of the will is to make morality impossible.
James Anthony Froude
A dreamer he was, and ever would be. Yet dreaming need not injure us, if it do but take its turn with waking and even dreams themselves may be turned to beauty, by favoured men to whom nature has given the powers of casting them into form.
James Anthony Froude
There is always a part of our being into which those who are dearer to us far than our own lives are yet unable to enter.
James Anthony Froude
Human improvement is from within outward.
James Anthony Froude
I cannot think the disputes and jealousies of Heaven are tried and settled by the swords of earth.
James Anthony Froude
You cannot dream yourself into a character you must hammer and forge yourself one.
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
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
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
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
I have long been convinced that the Christian Eucharist is but a continuation of the Eleusinian mysteries. St Paul, in using the word teleiois, almost confirms this.
James Anthony Froude
We cannot live on probabilities. The faith in which we can live bravely and die in peace must be a certainty, so far as it professes to be a faith at all, or it is nothing.
James Anthony Froude
