More quotes by 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
For me this world was neither so high nor so low as the Church would have it chequered over with its wild light shadows, I could love it and all the children of it, more dearly, perhaps, because it was not all light.
James Anthony Froude
Carelessness is inexcusable, and merits the inevitable sequence.
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
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
Men are made by nature unequal. It is vain, therefore, to treat them as if they were equal.

James Anthony Froude
Sacrifice is the first element of religion, and resolves itself in theological language into the love of God.
James Anthony Froude
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
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
We must have the real thing before we can have a science of a thing.
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
Courage is, on all hands, considered as an essential of high character.
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
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
I cannot think the disputes and jealousies of Heaven are tried and settled by the swords of earth.
James Anthony Froude
The solitary side of our nature demands leisure for reflection upon subjects on which the dash and whirl of daily business, so long as its clouds rise thick about us, forbid the intellect to fasten itself.
James Anthony Froude
You cannot dream yourself into a character you must hammer and forge yourself one.
