More quotes by John Henry Newman
Faith ... acts promptly and boldly on the occasion, on slender evidence.
John Henry Newman
All that is good, all that is true, all that is beautiful, all that is beneficent, be it great or small, be it perfect or fragmentary, natural as well as supernatural, moral as well as material, comes from God.
John Henry Newman
Lions would have fared better, had lions been the artists.
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
To be deep in history, is to cease to be Protestant.

John Henry Newman

John Henry Newman
Great things are done by devotion to one idea.
John Henry Newman

John Henry Newman
We can believe what we choose. We are answerable for what we choose to believe.
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
Let us put ourselves into His hands, and not be startled though He leads us by a strange way, a mirabilis via, as the Church speaks. Let us be sure He will lead us right, that He will bring us to that which is, not indeed what we think best, nor what is best for another, but what is best for us.
John Henry Newman
