More quotes by Francis William Newman
The active part of man consists of powerful instincts.
Francis William Newman
God has two families of children on this earth, the once-born and the twice-born.
Francis William Newman
Truth is congenial to man. Moral truth is then most consummate when, like beauty, it commends itself without argument. The righteous not only does right, but loves to do right.
Francis William Newman
