To live is to change, and to be perfect is to have changed often.

John Henry Newman

It is almost a definition of a gentleman to say that he is one who never inflicts pain.
JOHN HENRY NEWMAN

Such is the constitution of the human mind, that any kind of knowledge, if it be really such, is its own reward.
JOHN HENRY NEWMAN

Religion indeed enlightens, terrifies, subdues; it gives faith, it inflicts remorse, it inspires resolutions, it draws tears, it inflames devotion, but only for the occasion.
JOHN HENRY NEWMAN

Good is never accomplished except at the cost of those who do it, truth never breaks through except through the sacrifice of those who spread it.
JOHN HENRY NEWMAN

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

It is often said that second thoughts are best. So they are in matters of judgment but not in matters of conscience.
JOHN HENRY NEWMAN

Judgment Matter Said
To take up the cross of Christ is no great action done once for all; it consists in the continual practice of small duties which are distasteful to us.
JOHN HENRY NEWMAN

Action Done Practice
May He support us all the day long, till the shades lengthen, and the evening comes, and the busy world is hushed, and the fever of life is over, and our work is done! Then in His mercy may He give us a safe lodging, and a holy rest, and peace at the last.
JOHN HENRY NEWMAN

Giving Long Support
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
A man would do nothing if he waited until he could do it so well that no one could find fault.
