More quotes by John Henry Newman
We can believe what we choose. We are answerable for what we choose to believe.
John Henry Newman
The world is content with setting right the surface of things.
John Henry Newman
Conscience is the aboriginal Vicar of Christ.
John Henry Newman
Flagrant evils cure themselves by being flagrant.
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
Evil has no substance of its own, but is only the defect, excess, perversion, or corruption of that which has substance.
John Henry Newman
Egotism is true modesty. In religious enquiry each of us can speak only for himself.
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
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
It is often said that second thoughts are best. So they are in matters of judgment but not in matters of conscience.
John Henry Newman
Praise to the Holiest in the height, And in the depth be praise In all His words most wonderful, Most sure in all His ways.
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

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
Prayer is to the spiritual life what the beating of the pulse and the drawing of the breath are to the life of the body.
John Henry Newman
A universityeducates the intellect to reason well in all matters, to reach out towards truth, and to grasp it.
John Henry Newman
Great things are done by devotion to one idea.
John Henry Newman
I loved the garish day, and, spite of fears, Pride ruled my will: remember not past years.
John Henry Newman
Dear Lord...shine through me, and be so in me that every soul I come in contact with may feel Your presence in my soul...Let me thus praise You in the way You love best, by shining on those around me.
John Henry Newman
Such is the constitution of the human mind, that any kind of knowledge, if it be really such, is its own reward.
