More quotes by John Henry Newman
Conscience is the aboriginal Vicar of Christ.
John Henry Newman
The love of our private friends is the only preparatory exercise for the love of all men.
John Henry Newman
Knowledge is one thing, virtue is another.
John Henry Newman
Purity prepares the soul for love, and love confirms the soul in purity.
John Henry Newman
I toast the Pope, but I toast conscience first.
John Henry Newman
The world is content with setting right the surface of things.
John Henry Newman
Living Nature, not dull art Shall plan my ways and rule my Heart.
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
Literature stands related to Man as Science stands to Nature it is his history.
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
Nothing is more common than for men to think that because they are familiar with words they understand the ideas they stand for.
John Henry Newman
Reason is God's gift, but so are the passions. Reason is as guilty as passion.
John Henry Newman
The ears of the common people are holier than the hearts of the priests.
John Henry Newman
Lions would have fared better, had lions been the artists.
John Henry Newman
Health of body and mind is a great blessing, if we can bear it.
John Henry Newman
It is almost a definition of a gentleman to say that he is one who never inflicts pain.
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
We should ever conduct ourselves towards our enemy as if he were one day to be our friend.
John Henry Newman
It is God himself who can be discovered in the beauty of sensible things.
John Henry Newman
Egotism is true modesty. In religious enquiry each of us can speak only for himself.
John Henry Newman
