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

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
The reason why Christ is unknown today is because His Mother is unknown.
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
Time hath a taming hand.
John Henry Newman
Such is the constitution of the human mind, that any kind of knowledge, if it be really such, is its own reward.
John Henry Newman
