More quotes by John Henry Newman

Image
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.

Feast of Clare of Assisi, Founder of the Order of Minoresses (Poor Clares), 1253 Commemoration of John Henry Newman, Priest, Teacher, Tractarian, 1890 It is our great relief that God is not extreme to mark what is done amiss, that he looks at the motives, and accepts and blesses in spite of incidental errors.
John Henry Newman
Image
True religion is slow in growth, and, when once planted, is difficult of dislodgement but its intellectual counterfeit has no root in itself: it springs up suddenly, it suddenly withers.
John Henry Newman
Image
Dear Lord...shine through me, and be so in me that every soul I come in contact with may feel Your presence in my soul...Let me thus praise You in the way You love best, by shining on those around me.
John Henry Newman
Image
I loved the garish day, and, spite of fears, Pride ruled my will: remember not past years.
John Henry Newman
Image
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
Image
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
Image
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
Image
Nothing is more common than for men to think that because they are familiar with words they understand the ideas they stand for.
John Henry Newman
Image
I toast the Pope, but I toast conscience first.
John Henry Newman
Image
Reason is God's gift, but so are the passions. Reason is as guilty as passion.
John Henry Newman
Image
Egotism is true modesty. In religious enquiry each of us can speak only for himself.
John Henry Newman
Image
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.

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

There is such a thing as legitimate warfare: war has its laws there are things which may fairly be done, and things which may not be done.

Praise to the Holiest in the height, And in the depth be praise In all His words most wonderful, Most sure in all His ways.
