O loving wisdom of our God when all was sin and shame, a second Adam to the fight and to the rescue came.

John Henry Newman

An academical system without the personal influence of teachers on pupils, is an arctic winter; it will create an icebound, petrified, cast-iron University, and nothing else.
JOHN HENRY NEWMAN

Iron Teacher Winter
The attributes of God, though intelligible to us on their surface yet, for the very reason that they are infinite, transcend our comprehension, when they are dwelt upon, when they are followed out, and can only be received by faith.
JOHN HENRY NEWMAN

Comprehensive Infinite Reason Spiritual
It is not God’s way that great blessings should descend without the sacrifice first of great sufferings. If the truth is to be spread to any wide extent among the people, how can we dream, how can we hope, that trial and trouble shall not accompany its going forth.
JOHN HENRY NEWMAN

Blessing Dream Sacrifice
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

Dear Lord Love Shining
The love of our private friends is the only preparatory exercise for the love of all men.
JOHN HENRY NEWMAN

Exercise Friends Love Men
Stuffing birds or playing stringed instruments is an elegant pastime, and a resource to the idle, but it is not education.
JOHN HENRY NEWMAN

Bird Instruments Resources
To discover and to teach are distinct functions; they are also distinct gifts, and are not commonly found united in the same person.

Found Function Science
Lead, kindly light, amid the encircling gloom, lead thou me on.
JOHN HENRY NEWMAN

Dark Light
Faith ventures and hazards . . . counting the costs and delighting in the sacrifice.
JOHN HENRY NEWMAN

Faith Hazards Sacrifice
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

Given Missions Priceless
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

Beautiful Moral Perfect
Evil has no substance of its own, but is only the defect, excess, perversion, or corruption of that which has substance.
JOHN HENRY NEWMAN

Evil Excess Substance
A science is not mere knowledge, it is knowledge which has undergone a process of intellectual digestion. It is the grasp of many things brought together in one, and hence is its power; for, properly speaking, it is Science that is power, not Knowledge.
JOHN HENRY NEWMAN

Intellectual Knowledge Science
In this world no one rules by love; if you are but amiable, you are no hero; to be powerful, you must be strong, and to have dominion you must have a genius for organizing.
JOHN HENRY NEWMAN

Dominion Love Powerful Strong
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.
JOHN HENRY NEWMAN

Decision Reflection Want
Egotism is true modesty. In religious enquiry each of us can speak only for himself.
JOHN HENRY NEWMAN

Enquiry Modesty Religious
