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 FroudeThe soul of man is not a thing which comes and goes, is builded and decays like the elemental frame in which it is set to dwell, but a very living force, a very energy of God's organic will, which rules and moulds this universe.
James Anthony FroudeYou cannot dream yourself into a character; you must hammer and forge yourself one.
