This is what the Church is said to want, not party men, but sensible, temperate, sober, well-judging persons, to guide it through the channel of no-meaning, between the Scylla and Charybdis of Aye and no.

John Henry Newman

Let us put ourselves into His hands, and not be startled though He leads us by a strange way, a mirabilis via, as the Church speaks.
JOHN HENRY NEWMAN

By a garden is meant mystically a place of spiritual repose, stillness, peace, refreshment, delight.
JOHN HENRY NEWMAN

Garden Peace Spiritual
It is as absurd to argue men, as to torture them, into believing.
JOHN HENRY NEWMAN

Arguing Believe Men
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
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
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
I see nothing in the theory of evolution inconsistent with an Almighty Creator and Protector.
JOHN HENRY NEWMAN

Almighty Evolution Inconsistent Theory
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
To live is to change, and to be perfect is to have changed often.
JOHN HENRY NEWMAN

A great memory is never made synonymous with wisdom, any more than a dictionary would be called a treatise.
JOHN HENRY NEWMAN

Memories Treatise Wisdom
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

Dear Lord Love Shining
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
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

Expression Style Thinking
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
All that is good, all that is true, all that is beautiful, all that is beneficent, be it great or small, be it perfect or fragmentary, natural as well as supernatural, moral as well as material, comes from God.
JOHN HENRY NEWMAN

Beautiful Moral Perfect
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
