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
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
We can believe what we choose. We are answerable for what we choose to believe.
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
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

Living Nature, not dull art Shall plan my ways and rule my Heart.
John Henry Newman
