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
Time hath a taming hand.
John Henry Newman
The reason why Christ is unknown today is because His Mother is unknown.
John Henry Newman
I want a laity, not arrogant, not rash in speech, not disputatious, but men who know their religion, who enter into it, who know just where they stand, who know what they hold and what they do not, who know their creed so well that they can give an account of it, who know so much of history that they can defend it.
John Henry Newman
Two and two only supreme and luminously self-evident beings, myself and my Creator.
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
Conscience is the aboriginal Vicar of Christ.
John Henry Newman
Most people go not by argument, but by sympathies.
John Henry Newman
To be deep in history, is to cease to be Protestant.
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.
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
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
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
Satan is inconsistent. He persuades a man not to go to a synagogue on a cold morning yet when the man does go, he follows him into it.
John Henry Newman
Now what is it moves our very hearts, and sickens us so much at cruelty shown to poor brutes? I suppose this first, that they have done no harm next, that they have no power whatever of resistance it is the cowardice and tyranny of which they are the victims which makes their sufferings so especially touching.
John Henry Newman
Let us act on what we have, since we have not what we wish.
John Henry Newman
Prayer is to the spiritual life what the beating of the pulse and the drawing of the breath are to the life of the body.
John Henry Newman
Purity prepares the soul for love, and love confirms the soul in purity.
John Henry Newman
How can we understand forgiveness if we haven't recognized the depth of our sin?
John Henry Newman
