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

JOHN HENRY NEWMAN

Given Missions Priceless
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
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

JOHN HENRY NEWMAN

Dogma Fall Men
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
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
It is almost a definition of a gentleman to say that he is one who never inflicts pain.
