More quotes by John Henry Newman
Two and two only supreme and luminously self-evident beings, myself and my Creator.
John Henry Newman
I want a laity, not arrogant, not rash in speech, not disputatious, but men who know their religion, who enter into it, who know just where they stand, who know what they hold and what they do not, who know their creed so well that they can give an account of it, who know so much of history that they can defend it.
John Henry Newman

John Henry Newman

Now what is it that moves our very hearts and sickens us so much at cruelty shown to poor brutes?.. They have done us no harm and they have no power of resistance... There is something so very dreadful, so Satanic, in tormenting those who have never harmed us, who cannot defend themselves, who are utterly in our power.
John Henry Newman
Flagrant evils cure themselves by being flagrant.
John Henry Newman
Literature stands related to Man as Science stands to Nature it is his history.
John Henry Newman
Time hath a taming hand.
John Henry Newman
Faith ... acts promptly and boldly on the occasion, on slender evidence.
John Henry Newman
We can believe what we choose. We are answerable for what we choose to believe.
John Henry Newman
God created you to do him some particular service. He has given some work to you that he has not given to another. You have your mission. You shall do good.
John Henry Newman
Let us act on what we have, since we have not what we wish.
John Henry Newman
Lions would have fared better, had lions been the artists.
John Henry Newman
The reason why Christ is unknown today is because His Mother is unknown.
John Henry Newman
