More quotes by James Anthony Froude
Fear is the parent of cruelty.
James Anthony Froude

James Anthony Froude
We live merely on the crust or rind of things.
James Anthony Froude

Charity is from person to person and it loses half, far more than half, its moral value when the giver is not brought into personal relation with those to whom he gives.
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.

That in these times every serious person should not in his heart have felt some difliculty with the doctrines of the incarnation, I cannot helieve. We are not as we were. When Christianity was first published, the imagination of mankind presented the relation of heaven to earth very differently from what it does now.
James Anthony Froude
The endurance of the inequalities of life by the poor is the marvel of human society.
James Anthony Froude
But the world was also so constructed, owing to the nature of the Maker of it, that superior strength was found in the long run to lie with those who had the right on their side.
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
Sacrifice is the first element of religion, and resolves itself in theological language into the love of God.
James Anthony Froude
To tell men that they cannot help themselves is to fling them into recklessness and despair.
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
Courage is, on all hands, considered as an essential of high character.
James Anthony Froude
The solitary side of our nature demands leisure for reflection upon subjects on which the dash and whirl of daily business, so long as its clouds rise thick about us, forbid the intellect to fasten itself.
James Anthony Froude
Carelessness is inexcusable, and merits the inevitable sequence.
