James Anthony Froude
Man is a real man, and can live and act manfully in this world, not in the strength of opinions, not according to what he thinks, but according to what he is .
James Anthony Froude
Instead of man to love, we have a man-god to worship . From being the example of devotion, he is its object the religion of Christ ended with his life , and left us instead but the Christian religion.
James Anthony Froude
