John Henry Newman Quotes

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 Picture Quote #1

To discover and to teach are distinct functions; they are also distinct gifts, and are not commonly found united in the same person Picture Quote #1

It’s really not a difficult decision when you reflect on it,... The situation is just so tenuous with where it’s going to hit. You don’t want to take any chances Picture Quote #1

How can we understand forgiveness if we haven’t recognized the depth of our sin? Picture Quote #1

Faith is the result of the act of the will, following upon a conviction that to believe is a duty Picture Quote #1

Animals have done us no harm and they have no power of resistance. There is something so very dreadful in tormenting those who have never harmed us, who cannot defend themselves, who are utterly in our power Picture Quote #1

Thought and speech are inseparable from each other. Matter and expression are parts of one; style is a thinking out into language Picture Quote #1

You must make up your mind to the prospect of sustaining a certain measure of pain and trouble in you’r passage through life Picture Quote #1

We should ever conduct ourselves towards our enemy as if he were one day to be our friend Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Faith is illuminative, not operative; it does not force obedience, though it increases responsibility; it heightens guilt, but it does not prevent sin. The will is the source of action Picture Quote #1

Life passes, riches fly away, popularity is fickle, the senses decay, the world changes. One alone is true to us; One alone can be all things to us; One alone can supply our need Picture Quote #1

Reason is one thing and faith is another and reason can as little be made a substitute for faith, as faith can be made a substitute for reason Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Now what is it moves our very heart, and sickens us so much as cruelty shown to poor brutes? I suppose this: first, that they have done us no harm; next that they have no power whatsoever of resistance; it is the cowardice and tyranny, of which they are the victims, which make their sufferings so especially touching. There is something so very dreadful, so satanic in tormenting those who have never harmed us, and who cannot defend themselves, who are utterly in our power Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1
