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

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

Found Function Science
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
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

Fighting Shame Sin
Go down again – I dwell among the people.
JOHN HENRY NEWMAN

I wonder what day I shall die on – one passes year by year over one’s death day, as one might pass over one’s grave.
JOHN HENRY NEWMAN

Flagrant evils cure themselves by being flagrant.
JOHN HENRY NEWMAN

Cures Evil Flagrant
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.

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

Evil Excess Substance
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
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
Praise to the Holiest in the height, And in the depth be praise; In all His words most wonderful, Most sure in all His ways.
JOHN HENRY NEWMAN

Depth Height Way
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
Living Nature, not dull art Shall plan my ways and rule my Heart.
JOHN HENRY NEWMAN

Art Beauty Nature
