More quotes by 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

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
We should ever conduct ourselves towards our enemy as if he were one day to be our friend.
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
Let us act on what we have, since we have not what we wish.

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
God created you to do him some particular service. He has given some work to you that he has not given to another. You have your mission. You shall do good.

Faith ... acts promptly and boldly on the occasion, on slender evidence.
John Henry Newman
