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

John Henry Newman

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

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

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
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
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

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
Cruelty to animals is as if humans did not love God.

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
