More quotes by John Henry Newman
Purity prepares the soul for love, and love confirms the soul in purity.
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
God created you to do him some particular service. He has given some work to you that he has not given to another. You have your mission. You shall do good.
John Henry Newman
How many writers are there... who, breaking up their subject into details, destroy its life, and defraud us of the whole by their anxiety about the parts.
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
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
There is in stillness oft a magic power To calm the breast when struggling passions lower, Touched by its influence, in the soul arise Diviner feelings, kindred with the skies.
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
Most people go not by argument, but by sympathies.
John Henry Newman
Faith ventures and hazards . . . counting the costs and delighting in the sacrifice.
John Henry Newman
Health of body and mind is a great blessing, if we can bear it.
John Henry Newman
Conscience is the aboriginal Vicar of Christ.
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
Egotism is true modesty. In religious enquiry each of us can speak only for himself.
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
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
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
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
Let us put ourselves into His hands, and not be startled though He leads us by a strange way, a mirabilis via, as the Church speaks. Let us be sure He will lead us right, that He will bring us to that which is, not indeed what we think best, nor what is best for another, but what is best for us.
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
