More quotes by John Henry Newman
After the fever of life--after wearinesses, sicknesses, fightings and despondings, languor and fretfulness, struggling and failing, struggling and succeeding--after all the changes and chances of this troubled and unhealthy state, at length comes death--at length the white throne of God--at length the beatific vision.
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.
John Henry Newman
With Christians, a poetical view of things is a duty. We are bid to color all things with hues of faith, to see a divine meaning in every event.
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
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
If we are intended for great ends, we are called to great hazards.
John Henry Newman
Time hath a taming hand.
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
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
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
To be deep in history, is to cease to be Protestant.
John Henry Newman
From the age of fifteen, dogma has been the fundamental principle of my religion: I know no other religion I cannot enter into the idea of any other sort of religion religion, as a mere sentiment, is to me a dream and a mockery.
John Henry Newman
Good is never accomplished except at the cost of those who do it, truth never breaks through except through the sacrifice of those who spread it.
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
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
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
May He support us all the day long, till the shades lengthen, and the evening comes, and the busy world is hushed, and the fever of life is over, and our work is done! Then in His mercy may He give us a safe lodging, and a holy rest, and peace at the last.
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
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
Faith ... acts promptly and boldly on the occasion, on slender evidence.
John Henry Newman
