The love of our private friends is the only preparatory exercise for the love of all men.

John Henry Newman

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

It’s really not a difficult decision when you reflect on it, … The situation is just so tenuous with where it’s going to hit. You don’t want to take any chances.
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
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.

When you feel in need of a compliment, give one to someone else.

Lions would have fared better, had lions been the artists.
