More quotes by 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
Great things are done by devotion to one idea.
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
We can believe what we choose. We are answerable for what we choose to believe.
John Henry Newman
Flagrant evils cure themselves by being flagrant.
John Henry Newman
Faith ventures and hazards . . . counting the costs and delighting in the sacrifice.
John Henry Newman
It is God himself who can be discovered in the beauty of sensible things.
John Henry Newman
True religion is slow in growth, and, when once planted, is difficult of dislodgement but its intellectual counterfeit has no root in itself: it springs up suddenly, it suddenly withers.
John Henry Newman
Reason is God's gift, but so are the passions. Reason is as guilty as passion.
John Henry Newman
Lions would have fared better, had lions been the artists.
John Henry Newman
The world is content with setting right the surface of things.
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
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
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
Literature stands related to Man as Science stands to Nature it is his history.
John Henry Newman
Living Nature, not dull art Shall plan my ways and rule my Heart.
John Henry Newman
Virtue is its own reward, and brings with it the truest and highest pleasure but if we cultivate it only for pleasure's sake, we are selfish, not religious, and will never gain the pleasure, because we can never have the virtue.
John Henry Newman
We should ever conduct ourselves towards our enemy as if he were one day to be our friend.
John Henry Newman
Health of body and mind is a great blessing, if we can bear it.
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
