When a woman's heart is flowing over for the first time with deep and passionate love, she is all love.

James Anthony Froude

The practical effect of a belief is the real test of its soundness.
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
Truth only smells sweet forever, and illusions, however innocent, are deadly as the canker worm.
James Anthony Froude
Human improvement is from within outward.
James Anthony Froude
Every one of us ... knows better than he practices, and recognizes a better law than he obeys.
James Anthony Froude
We live merely on the crust or rind of things.
