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
Let us act on what we have, since we have not what we wish.
John Henry Newman
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
Living Nature, not dull art Shall plan my ways and rule my Heart.
John Henry Newman
Faith ventures and hazards . . . counting the costs and delighting in the sacrifice.
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
We must make up our minds to be ignorant of much, if we would know anything.
John Henry Newman
It is very difficult to get up resentment towards persons whom one has never seen.
John Henry Newman
Virtue is its own reward, and brings with it the truest and highest pleasure but if we cultivate it only for pleasure's sake, we are selfish, not religious, and will never gain the pleasure, because we can never have the virtue.
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
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.
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
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
Conscience is the aboriginal Vicar of Christ.
John Henry Newman
After the fever of life--after wearinesses, sicknesses, fightings and despondings, languor and fretfulness, struggling and failing, struggling and succeeding--after all the changes and chances of this troubled and unhealthy state, at length comes death--at length the white throne of God--at length the beatific vision.
John Henry Newman
Great things are done by devotion to one idea.
John Henry Newman
Faith ... acts promptly and boldly on the occasion, on slender evidence.
John Henry Newman
We can believe what we choose. We are answerable for what we choose to believe.
John Henry Newman
I toast the Pope, but I toast conscience first.
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
