More quotes by 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
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
Living Nature, not dull art Shall plan my ways and rule my Heart.
John Henry Newman
Reason is God's gift, but so are the passions. Reason is as guilty as passion.
John Henry Newman
Now what is it that moves our very hearts and sickens us so much at cruelty shown to poor brutes?.. They have done us no harm and they have no power of resistance... There is something so very dreadful, so Satanic, in tormenting those who have never harmed us, who cannot defend themselves, who are utterly in our power.
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
An academical system without the personal influence of teachers on pupils, is an arctic winter it will create an icebound, petrified, cast-iron University, and nothing else.
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
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
Every breath of air and ray of light and heat, every beautiful prospect, is, as it were, the skirts of the (angel's) garments, the waving robes of those whose faces see God.
John Henry Newman
Thought and speech are inseparable from each other. Matter and expression are parts of one style is a thinking out into language.
John Henry Newman
It is often said that second thoughts are best. So they are in matters of judgment but not in matters of conscience.
John Henry Newman
Knowledge is one thing, virtue is another.
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
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
Let us take things as we find them: let us not attempt to distort them into what they are not... We cannot make facts. All our wishing cannot change them. We must use them.
John Henry Newman
We must make up our minds to be ignorant of much, if we would know anything.
John Henry Newman
Faith ventures and hazards . . . counting the costs and delighting in the sacrifice.
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
Purity prepares the soul for love, and love confirms the soul in purity.
John Henry Newman
