There is always a part of our being into which those who are dearer to us far than our own lives are yet unable to enter.
James Anthony Froude
I cut a hole in my heart and wrote with the blood.
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
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
Life is more than a theory, and love of truth butters no bread: old men who have had to struggle along their way, who know the endless bitterness, the grave moral deterioration which follow an empty exchequer, may well be pardoned for an over-wish to see their sons secured from it hunger, at least, is a reality.
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
