More quotes by 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
We must make up our minds to be ignorant of much, if we would know anything.
John Henry Newman
I toast the Pope, but I toast conscience first.
John Henry Newman
Faith ventures and hazards . . . counting the costs and delighting in the sacrifice.
John Henry Newman
It is almost a definition of a gentleman to say that he is one who never inflicts pain.
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
We can believe what we choose. We are answerable for what we choose to believe.
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
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
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
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
Living Nature, not dull art Shall plan my ways and rule my Heart.
John Henry Newman
Let us act on what we have, since we have not what we wish.
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
Purity prepares the soul for love, and love confirms the soul in purity.
John Henry Newman
Faith ... acts promptly and boldly on the occasion, on slender evidence.
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.
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
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
The ears of the common people are holier than the hearts of the priests.
John Henry Newman
