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

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
Purity prepares the soul for love, and love confirms the soul in purity.
JOHN HENRY NEWMAN

Catholic Love Soul
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
If we insist on being as sure as is conceivable… we must be content to creep along the ground, and never soar.
JOHN HENRY NEWMAN

Certainty Creeps Soar
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

JOHN HENRY NEWMAN

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.
JOHN HENRY NEWMAN

Anxiety Detail Teacher
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
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
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

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

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

Down Dwell People
To holy people the very name of Jesus is a name to feed upon, a name to transport. His name can raise the dead and transfigure and beautify the living.
JOHN HENRY NEWMAN

Days Holy Jesus Names
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
Egotism is true modesty. In religious enquiry each of us can speak only for himself.
