More quotes by John Henry Newman
I loved the garish day, and, spite of fears, Pride ruled my will: remember not past years.
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
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
Most people go not by argument, but by sympathies.
John Henry Newman
Make me what Thou wouldst have me. I bargain for nothing. I make no terms. I seek for no previous information whither Thou art taking me. I will be what Thou wilt make me, and all that Thou wilt make me. I say not, I will follow Thee whithersoever Thou goest, for I am weak, but I give myself to Thee, to lead me anywhither.
John Henry Newman
Living Nature, not dull art Shall plan my ways and rule my Heart.
John Henry Newman

John Henry Newman
Knowledge is one thing, virtue is another.
John Henry Newman

John Henry Newman
And with the morn those angel faces smile Which I have loved long since and lost awhile.
John Henry Newman
The reason why Christ is unknown today is because His Mother is unknown.
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
Time hath a taming hand.
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
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
Health of body and mind is a great blessing, if we can bear it.
John Henry Newman
We must make up our minds to be ignorant of much, if we would know anything.
John Henry Newman
