More quotes by John Henry Newman
It is as absurd to argue men, as to torture them, into believing.
John Henry Newman
I toast the Pope, but I toast conscience first.
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
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
Evil has no substance of its own, but is only the defect, excess, perversion, or corruption of that which has substance.
John Henry Newman
How can we understand forgiveness if we haven't recognized the depth of our sin?
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
The ears of the common people are holier than the hearts of the priests.
John Henry Newman
Purity prepares the soul for love, and love confirms the soul in purity.
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
Lions would have fared better, had lions been the artists.
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
After the fever of life--after wearinesses, sicknesses, fightings and despondings, languor and fretfulness, struggling and failing, struggling and succeeding--after all the changes and chances of this troubled and unhealthy state, at length comes death--at length the white throne of God--at length the beatific vision.
John Henry Newman
How many writers are there... who, breaking up their subject into details, destroy its life, and defraud us of the whole by their anxiety about the parts.
John Henry Newman
To discover and to teach are distinct functions they are also distinct gifts, and are not commonly found united in the same person.
John Henry Newman
I loved the garish day, and, spite of fears, Pride ruled my will: remember not past years.
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
Literature stands related to Man as Science stands to Nature it is his history.
John Henry Newman
