As we advance in life, we learn the limits of our abilities.

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
Courage is, on all hands, considered as an essential of high character.
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
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 essence of greatness is neglect of the self.
James Anthony Froude
Where all are selfish, the sage is no better than the fool, and only rather more dangerous.
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
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.
