James Anthony Froude
I cut a hole in my heart and wrote with the blood.
James Anthony Froude

James Anthony Froude
Man is a real man, and can live and act manfully in this world, not in the strength of opinions, not according to what he thinks, but according to what he is .
James Anthony Froude
I cannot think the disputes and jealousies of Heaven are tried and settled by the swords of earth.
