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.

John Henry Newman

A science is not mere knowledge, it is knowledge which has undergone a process of intellectual digestion. It is the grasp of many things brought together in one, and hence is its power; for, properly speaking, it is Science that is power, not Knowledge.
JOHN HENRY NEWMAN

Intellectual Knowledge Science
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

JOHN HENRY NEWMAN

Eye Religious Waiting
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
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

Given Missions Priceless
I wonder what day I shall die on – one passes year by year over one’s death day, as one might pass over one’s grave.
JOHN HENRY NEWMAN

Literature stands related to Man as Science stands to Nature; it is his history.

It is often said that second thoughts are best. So they are in matters of judgment but not in matters of conscience.
JOHN HENRY NEWMAN

Judgment Matter Said
Men will die upon dogma but will not fall victim to a conclusion.
JOHN HENRY NEWMAN

Dogma Fall Men
Let us put ourselves into His hands, and not be startled though He leads us by a strange way, a mirabilis via, as the Church speaks.
