More quotes by John Henry Newman
I will trust Him. Whatever, wherever I am, I can never be thrown away. If I am in sickness, my sickness may serve Him in perplexity, my perplexity may serve Him if I am in sorrow, my sorrow may serve Him. My sickness, or perplexity, or sorrow may be necessary causes of some great end, which is quite beyond us. He does nothing in vain.
John Henry Newman
How many writers are there... who, breaking up their subject into details, destroy its life, and defraud us of the whole by their anxiety about the parts.
John Henry Newman
To be deep in history, is to cease to be Protestant.
John Henry Newman
A science is not mere knowledge, it is knowledge which has undergone a process of intellectual digestion. It is the grasp of many things brought together in one, and hence is its power for, properly speaking, it is Science that is power, not Knowledge.
John Henry Newman
It is very difficult to get up resentment towards persons whom one has never seen.
John Henry Newman
If we are intended for great ends, we are called to great hazards.
John Henry Newman
Faith ventures and hazards . . . counting the costs and delighting in the sacrifice.
John Henry Newman
Satan is inconsistent. He persuades a man not to go to a synagogue on a cold morning yet when the man does go, he follows him into it.
John Henry Newman
To discover and to teach are distinct functions they are also distinct gifts, and are not commonly found united in the same person.
John Henry Newman
Let us act on what we have, since we have not what we wish.
John Henry Newman
The heart is commonly reached, not through the reason, but through the imagination, by means of direct impressions, by the testimony of facts and events, by history, by description. Persons influence us, voices melt us, looks subdue us, deeds inflame us. Many a man will live and die upon a dogma no man will be a martyr for a conclusion.
John Henry Newman
God has created me to do Him some definite service He has committed some work to me which he has not committed to another, I have my mission ... He has not created me for naught ... If I am in sickness, my sickness may serve Him If I am in sorrow, my sorrow may serve Him. He does nothing in vain. He knows what He is about.
John Henry Newman
Thought and speech are inseparable from each other. Matter and expression are parts of one style is a thinking out into language.
John Henry Newman
Literature stands related to Man as Science stands to Nature it is his history.
John Henry Newman
I toast the Pope, but I toast conscience first.
John Henry Newman
There is such a thing as legitimate warfare: war has its laws there are things which may fairly be done, and things which may not be done.
John Henry Newman
An academical system without the personal influence of teachers on pupils, is an arctic winter it will create an icebound, petrified, cast-iron University, and nothing else.
John Henry Newman
Most people go not by argument, but by sympathies.
John Henry Newman
The world is content with setting right the surface of things.
John Henry Newman
There is in stillness oft a magic power To calm the breast when struggling passions lower, Touched by its influence, in the soul arise Diviner feelings, kindred with the skies.
John Henry Newman
