A great memory is never made synonymous with wisdom, any more than a dictionary would be called a treatise.

John Henry Newman

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

Dark Light
There is in stillness oft a magic power To calm the breast when struggling passions lower, Touched by its influence, in the soul arise Diviner feelings, kindred with the skies.
JOHN HENRY NEWMAN

Passion Sky Struggle
All men have a reason, but not all men can give a reason.
JOHN HENRY NEWMAN

Giving Men Perspective
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
And with the morn those angel faces smile Which I have loved long since and lost awhile.
JOHN HENRY NEWMAN

Angel Condolences Sympathy

Learn to do thy part and leave the rest to Heaven.
JOHN HENRY NEWMAN

Catholic Heaven Part
You must be patient, you must wait for the eye of the soul to be formed in you. Religious truth is reached, not by reasoning, but by an inward perception. Anyone can reason; only disciplined, educated, formed minds can perceive.
JOHN HENRY NEWMAN

Eye Religious Waiting
Men will die upon dogma but will not fall victim to a conclusion.
JOHN HENRY NEWMAN

Dogma Fall Men
From the age of fifteen, dogma has been the fundamental principle of my religion: I know no other religion; I cannot enter into the idea of any other sort of religion; religion, as a mere sentiment, is to me a dream and a mockery.
JOHN HENRY NEWMAN

Dream Ideas Religion
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.
JOHN HENRY NEWMAN

Decay Fickle Needs
