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

Lead, kindly light, amid the encircling gloom, lead thou me on.
JOHN HENRY NEWMAN

Dark Light
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
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

There is a knowledge which is desirable, though nothing come of it, as being of itself a treasure, and a sufficient remuneration of years of labor.
JOHN HENRY NEWMAN

Praise to the Holiest in the height, And in the depth be praise; In all His words most wonderful, Most sure in all His ways.
JOHN HENRY NEWMAN

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
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.
