James Froude Quotes and Quotations
As we advance in life, we learn the limits of our abilities. Human improvement is from within outward. Men are made by nature unequal. It is vain, therefore, to treat them as if they were equal. Philosophy goes no further than probabilities, and in every assertion keeps a doubt in reserve. Of all the evil spirits abroad at this hour in the world, insincerity is the most dangerous. We enter the world alone, we leave it alone.

I think and think for months, for years. Ninety-nine times the conclusion is false. The hundredth time I am right. |
