More quotes by 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
The endurance of the inequalities of life by the poor is the marvel of human society.
James Anthony Froude
Justice without wisdom is impossible.
James Anthony Froude
We live merely on the crust or rind of things.
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
I cut a hole in my heart and wrote with the blood.
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

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
Truth only smells sweet forever, and illusions, however innocent, are deadly as the canker worm.
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
Minds vary in sensitiveness and in self-power, as bodies do in susceptibility of attraction and repulsion. When, when shall we learn that they are governed by laws as inexorable as physical laws, and that a man can as easily refuse to obey what has power over him as a steel atom can resist the magnet?
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
To tell men that they cannot help themselves is to fling them into recklessness and despair.
James Anthony Froude
Morality, when vigorously alive, sees farther than intellect, and provides unconsciously for intellectual difficulties.
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
Courage is, on all hands, considered as an essential of high character.
