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

Flagrant evils cure themselves by being flagrant.
JOHN HENRY NEWMAN

Cures Evil Flagrant
An academical system without the personal influence of teachers on pupils, is an arctic winter; it will create an icebound, petrified, cast-iron University, and nothing else.
JOHN HENRY NEWMAN

Iron Teacher Winter
And with the morn those angel faces smile Which I have loved long since and lost awhile.
JOHN HENRY NEWMAN

Angel Condolences Sympathy
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
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

Depth Height Way
Go down again – I dwell among the people.
JOHN HENRY NEWMAN

Down Dwell People
Calculation never made a hero.
JOHN HENRY NEWMAN

Calculation Hero Made
Most people go not by argument, but by sympathies.
JOHN HENRY NEWMAN

Arguments People Sympathies
Faith is illuminative, not operative; it does not force obedience, though it increases responsibility; it heightens guilt, but it does not prevent sin. The will is the source of action.
JOHN HENRY NEWMAN

Doe Guilt Responsibility
It is as absurd to argue men, as to torture them, into believing.
JOHN HENRY NEWMAN

Arguing Believe Men
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

Dream Ideas Religion
Literature stands related to Man as Science stands to Nature; it is his history.
JOHN HENRY NEWMAN

Men Nature Science
Every breath of air and ray of light and heat, every beautiful prospect, is, as it were, the skirts of the (angel’s) garments, the waving robes of those whose faces see God.
JOHN HENRY NEWMAN

Angel Beautiful Light
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
Religion indeed enlightens, terrifies, subdues; it gives faith, it inflicts remorse, it inspires resolutions, it draws tears, it inflames devotion, but only for the occasion.
JOHN HENRY NEWMAN

Giving Inspire Religion
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
