Go down again – I dwell among the people.

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

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

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

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

Angel Beautiful Light
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.

Let us act on what we have, since we have not what we wish.

Man is emphatically self-made.
JOHN HENRY NEWMAN

It is as absurd to argue men, as to torture them, into believing.
JOHN HENRY NEWMAN

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

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.
