More quotes by John Henry Newman
When men understand what each other mean, they see, for the most part, that controversy is either superfluous or hopeless
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
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
Two and two only supreme and luminously self-evident beings, myself and my Creator.
John Henry Newman
We can believe what we choose. We are answerable for what we choose to believe.
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
It is as absurd to argue men, as to torture them, into believing.
John Henry Newman
And with the morn those angel faces smile Which I have loved long since and lost awhile.
John Henry Newman
The love of our private friends is the only preparatory exercise for the love of all men.
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
Conscience is the aboriginal Vicar of Christ.
John Henry Newman
We should ever conduct ourselves towards our enemy as if he were one day to be our friend.
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
Feast of Clare of Assisi, Founder of the Order of Minoresses (Poor Clares), 1253 Commemoration of John Henry Newman, Priest, Teacher, Tractarian, 1890 It is our great relief that God is not extreme to mark what is done amiss, that he looks at the motives, and accepts and blesses in spite of incidental errors.
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
It is almost a definition of a gentleman to say that he is one who never inflicts pain.
John Henry Newman
The world is content with setting right the surface of things.
John Henry Newman
Flagrant evils cure themselves by being flagrant.
John Henry Newman
A science is not mere knowledge, it is knowledge which has undergone a process of intellectual digestion. It is the grasp of many things brought together in one, and hence is its power for, properly speaking, it is Science that is power, not Knowledge.
John Henry Newman
Lions would have fared better, had lions been the artists.
