John Henry Newman
And with the morn those angel faces smile Which I have loved long since and lost awhile.
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
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
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

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
Great things are done by devotion to one idea.
John Henry Newman

John Henry Newman
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
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
Egotism is true modesty. In religious enquiry each of us can speak only for himself.
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
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
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
