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

JOHN HENRY NEWMAN

Doe Guilt Responsibility
There is in stillness oft a magic power To calm the breast when struggling passions lower, Touched by its influence, in the soul arise Diviner feelings, kindred with the skies.

JOHN HENRY NEWMAN

Remuneration Treasure Years
God created you to do him some particular service. He has given some work to you that he has not given to another. You have your mission. You shall do good.
JOHN HENRY NEWMAN

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

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
