More quotes by 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
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
Crime is not punished as an offense against God, but as prejudicial to society.
James Anthony Froude
The practical effect of a belief is the real test of its soundness.
James Anthony Froude
I scarcely know a professional man I can like, and certainly not one who has been what the world calls successful, that I should the least wish to resemble.
James Anthony Froude
Those who seek for something more than happiness in this world must not complain if happiness is not their portion.
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
Carelessness is inexcusable, and merits the inevitable sequence.
James Anthony Froude
Men are made by nature unequal. It is vain, therefore, to treat them as if they were equal.
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
The moral of human life is never simple, and the moral of a story which aims only at being true to human life cannot be expected to be any more so.
James Anthony Froude
What is called virtue in the common sense of the word has nothing to do with this or that man's prosperity, or even happiness.
James Anthony Froude
If you think you can temper yourself into manliness by sitting here over your books, it is the very silliest fancy that ever tempted a young man to his ruin. You cannot dream yourself into a character you must hammer and forge yourself one.
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
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
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
Morality rests upon a sense of obligation and obligation has no meaning except as implying a Divine command, without which it would cease to be.
James Anthony Froude
Men think to mend their condition by a change of circumstances. They might as well hope to escape from their shadows.
James Anthony Froude
We live merely on the crust or rind of things.
James Anthony Froude
You cannot dream yourself into a character you must hammer and forge yourself one.
