John Henry Newman
All that is good, all that is true, all that is beautiful, all that is beneficent, be it great or small, be it perfect or fragmentary, natural as well as supernatural, moral as well as material, comes from God.
John Henry Newman
It is very difficult to get up resentment towards persons whom one has never seen.
John Henry Newman
I want a laity, not arrogant, not rash in speech, not disputatious, but men who know their religion, who enter into it, who know just where they stand, who know what they hold and what they do not, who know their creed so well that they can give an account of it, who know so much of history that they can defend it.
John Henry Newman

John Henry Newman
The love of our private friends is the only preparatory exercise for the love of all men.
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
Faith ... acts promptly and boldly on the occasion, on slender evidence.
John Henry Newman
Time hath a taming hand.
John Henry Newman
It is as absurd to argue men, as to torture them, into believing.
John Henry Newman
I loved the garish day, and, spite of fears, Pride ruled my will: remember not past years.
John Henry Newman
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
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
