More quotes by 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
I have long been convinced that the Christian Eucharist is but a continuation of the Eleusinian mysteries. St Paul, in using the word teleiois, almost confirms this.
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
The best that we can do for one another is to exchange our thoughts freely and that, after all, is about all.
James Anthony Froude
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
Sacrifice is the first element of religion, and resolves itself in theological language into the love of God.
James Anthony Froude
Every one of us ... knows better than he practices, and recognizes a better law than he obeys.
James Anthony Froude
The practical effect of a belief is the real test of its soundness.
James Anthony Froude
Where nature is sovereign, there is no need of austerity and self-denial.
James Anthony Froude
What is right or duty without power ? To tell a man it is his duty to submit his judgment to the judgment of the church, is like telling a wife it is her duty to love her husband a thing easy to say, but meaning simply nothing. Affection must be won, not commanded.
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
To deny the freedom of the will is to make morality impossible.
James Anthony Froude
Truth only smells sweet forever, and illusions, however innocent, are deadly as the canker worm.
James Anthony Froude
There are at bottom but two possible religions--that which rises in the moral nature of man, and which takes shape in moral commandments, and that which grows out of the observation of the material energies which operate in the external universe.
James Anthony Froude
We live merely on the crust or rind of things.
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
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
Just laws are no restraint upon the freedom of the good, for the good man desires nothing which a just law will interfere with.
James Anthony Froude
Women's eyes are rapid in detecting a heart which is ill at ease with itself, and, knowing the value of sympathy, and finding their own greatest happiness not in receiving it, but in giving it, with them to be unhappy is at once to be interesting.
James Anthony Froude
Men are made by nature unequal. It is vain, therefore, to treat them as if they were equal.
