More quotes by 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
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 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
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
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
Courage is, on all hands, considered as an essential of high character.
James Anthony Froude
The better one is morally the less aware they are of their virtue.
James Anthony Froude
You cannot dream yourself into a character you must hammer and forge yourself one.
James Anthony Froude
Men are made by nature unequal. It is vain, therefore, to treat them as if they were equal.
James Anthony Froude
Men think to mend their condition by a change of circumstances. They might as well hope to escape from their shadows.
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
You cannot reason people into loving those whom they are not drawn to love they cannot reason themselves into it and there are some contrarieties of temper which are too strong even for the obligations of relationship.
James Anthony Froude
Where nature is sovereign, there is no need of austerity and self-denial.
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
Sacrifice is the first element of religion, and resolves itself in theological language into the love of God.
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
Fling away your soul once for all, your own small self if you will find it again. Count not even on immortality.
James Anthony Froude
As we advance in life, we learn the limits of our abilities.
James Anthony Froude
We must have the real thing before we can have a science of a thing.
James Anthony Froude
