More quotes by John Henry Newman
I loved the garish day, and, spite of fears, Pride ruled my will: remember not past years.
John Henry Newman
Time hath a taming hand.
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
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
It is very difficult to get up resentment towards persons whom one has never seen.
John Henry Newman
The world is content with setting right the surface of things.
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
We can believe what we choose. We are answerable for what we choose to believe.
John Henry Newman
Living Nature, not dull art Shall plan my ways and rule my Heart.
John Henry Newman
Knowledge is one thing, virtue is another.
John Henry Newman
Flagrant evils cure themselves by being flagrant.
John Henry Newman
Purity prepares the soul for love, and love confirms the soul in purity.
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
Now what is it moves our very hearts, and sickens us so much at cruelty shown to poor brutes? I suppose this first, that they have done no harm next, that they have no power whatever of resistance it is the cowardice and tyranny of which they are the victims which makes their sufferings so especially touching.
John Henry Newman
The love of our private friends is the only preparatory exercise for the love of all men.
John Henry Newman
Literature stands related to Man as Science stands to Nature it is his history.
John Henry Newman
Make me what Thou wouldst have me. I bargain for nothing. I make no terms. I seek for no previous information whither Thou art taking me. I will be what Thou wilt make me, and all that Thou wilt make me. I say not, I will follow Thee whithersoever Thou goest, for I am weak, but I give myself to Thee, to lead me anywhither.
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
Evil has no substance of its own, but is only the defect, excess, perversion, or corruption of that which has substance.
John Henry Newman
