More quotes by James Anthony Froude

James Anthony Froude

James Anthony Froude
The practical effect of a belief is the real test of its soundness.
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

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
