More quotes by John Henry Newman
We should ever conduct ourselves towards our enemy as if he were one day to be our friend.
John Henry Newman
God has created me to do Him some definite service He has committed some work to me which he has not committed to another, I have my mission ... He has not created me for naught ... If I am in sickness, my sickness may serve Him If I am in sorrow, my sorrow may serve Him. He does nothing in vain. He knows what He is about.
John Henry Newman
There is such a thing as legitimate warfare: war has its laws there are things which may fairly be done, and things which may not be done.
John Henry Newman
Faith ... acts promptly and boldly on the occasion, on slender evidence.
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
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
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
Now what is it moves our very hearts, and sickens us so much at cruelty shown to poor brutes? I suppose this first, that they have done no harm next, that they have no power whatever of resistance it is the cowardice and tyranny of which they are the victims which makes their sufferings so especially touching.
John Henry Newman
We must make up our minds to be ignorant of much, if we would know anything.
John Henry Newman
Nothing is more common than for men to think that because they are familiar with words they understand the ideas they stand for.
John Henry Newman
Time hath a taming hand.
John Henry Newman
The reason why Christ is unknown today is because His Mother is unknown.
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
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
