Learn to do thy part and leave the rest to Heaven.

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.
JOHN HENRY NEWMAN

Comprehensive Infinite Reason Spiritual
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
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
Man is emphatically self-made.
JOHN HENRY NEWMAN

Made Men Self
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

Break Cost Sacrifice Through

Prayer is to the spiritual life what the beating of the pulse and the drawing of the breath are to the life of the body.

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

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
Thought and speech are inseparable from each other. Matter and expression are parts of one; style is a thinking out into language.
JOHN HENRY NEWMAN

Time hath a taming hand.

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

Giving Long Support
Let us act on what we have, since we have not what we wish.
JOHN HENRY NEWMAN

Act Since Wish
